Trinidadians insatiable appetite for American junk food and other imported food items from my adopted country is well know. Heck being classified as the "world's numberone Kentucky Fried Chicken eaters" is even a badge of honor for many Trinis.
Well it so turns out, that imported chicken to Trinidad from the USA is classified as "not fit for human consumption" and sold as pet food to Americans, is being gobbled up in Trinidad by humans.

As far as I can recall no one has ever accused the Titties of being human...why do you think they call themselves Trini to the bone? That right there is a dead giveaway...
The only thing upsetting about this is that they thought it necessary to import waste all the way from America when they could have gotten left over scraps from their formerly favorite trading partner Jamaica...

According to PETA it is not advisable to laugh while chomping down on a mouthful of imported dog food unless your owner is skilled in administering the Heimlich maneuver

Very sad and terrible to think that an oil rich nation, natural gas etc is importing food unfit for human consumption..

I could understand Bravo s urge to cuss you upside down. The article ssys...a possibility...not a fact. Yet you project it as a foregone conclusion. One immediate result of your posting is the snide postings made in response. If this is a fact then those responsible for importing the item should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

The 180 day limit, is a precautionary measure, used by companies to protect themselves from something going wrong, it is not to say that chicken cannot go past 180 days.
The candy bar you buy in the stores, have dates that they are to be removed from stores, it does not mean the product is not edible.
I suspect, the chicken sold in Trinidad past the 180 day period, have more to do with shipping.

There is a real possibility that when you purchase chicken leg quarters imported from the United States, you are consuming chicken that is over 180 days old and classified as unfit for humans.
The reason why they say real possibility is that you could also be getting chicken less than 180 days old. It is not saying old chicken is may not be coming in.

No, it is up to 5 years old. The point is this- why sell food that is not fit for human consumption in USA but to Trinidadians?
BTW, expired candies are removed from the shelves in the USA. Only as fool will buy packaged food pass the sell date.

Read the Newsday article it goes deeper. Don't support the importers of this madness by trying to rationalize their reason.

FROZEN MEAT SOLD AS ‘FRESH’ Earlier in the hearding, revelations were made that “food laundering” was taking place in TT in which chicken parts, which had been frozen for as long as five years in the United States, were being exported to this country, thawed out by local retailers and then sold off as ‘fresh’ poultry

Get pass the harmless humor of a few posting and I agree with you this is sad.
Hard working Trinidadians pay top dollars for their food and to think they are getting reject food from the USA is rotten indeed.
I wonder if the few posters in here will buy chicken that was frozen for 2 years still buy it if they knew?

They are removed as a precaution, it doesn't mean the product cannot be eaten. Most, manufacturer sell bread, twinkies, donuts, etc, at trift stores, (discounted prices) after removing them from store shelves. The rest is sold to live stock producers.

Is it a regular occurrence? I am thinking, it was sent at the last minute to replace depleted stocks and expired during shipping.

Most trinis buy local chicken.
US chicken is unnatural and disgusting..and only comes in leg and thigh locally...smells good tastes like chicken but big and weird and doh like to tun brown..local manufacturers dominate this market by a huge margin,we have much better chicken locally..the imported chicken represent a very very small % of chicken consumed..maybe one dealer importing it..

It is estimated that 40% of all chicken in Trinidad is imported from the USA and that market share is growing- 40 % is significant.
I am happy the authorities are looking into this. The local poultry market is under attack and it needs to be protected from this unfair trade.
BTW, 70% of KFC chicken is from the USA. I would like the minister to examine KFC imports.

Trinidad and Tobago (TT) is the fifth largest
Caribbean market for U.S. poultry meat, with $29.3 million in U.S. exports in 2012. The tariff headings listed
above represent the lion’s share of U.S. poultry meat exports to TT (86 percent), meaning the prices of most
imported U.S. (and other origin) poultry products in TT are likely to see an increase as a result of this new

This is significant- since the stats for the Caribbean inlcude large countries not geographically in the Caribbean such as Mexico, followed by Dominican Republic etc.
Since 2012, chicken imports have been increasing. It is estimated that 40% of all chicken eaten in Trinidad is imported.

5th largest!! 29.3 million and that include turkey,Cornish rock hens and processed poultry products.

About 3 years ago, KFC stopped advertising "Halal" b/c the majority of their chicken could not be examined or inspected for Halal certify since the meat was imported from the USA.

Never KFC only uses Arawak,you lying...and it's because of this KFC T&T is known to be different for the better.
2016-06-18 11:55:49
it's very simple you know,ask Trinis right here what kinda chicken they buy and we can have a sample of the wider market..
I have a family,we cook almost everyday,we also buy the odd kfc and no foreign chicken is involved...of course we tried it,but we never bought after that...it's ugly and huge..
2016-06-18 11:56:21
Any Trinidadian can go KFC right now, in most of their stores- you will no longer see the Halal sign.
They may still be buying from Arawak for a small portion of their supply for certain areas.

For local Trinidad poultry purchase- KFC buy exclusively from Arawak- true, BUT, not all their poultry is purchase from Trinidad.
Got it?
You have to be smart to understand how they word things.
KFC is an American franchise, they make money by selling the chicken, fries, cooking oil etc from the USA- from their corporate affiliate.

What an idiot you are,they sell 'secret recipe', marketing tools ,a working proven business model etc, not US chicken!!
That's why a fiend like you could never be the voice of T&T,KFC along with many other franchises have customized their offerings to suit Trini taste!! Even Mc'Donalds TGI etc are forced to serve Matouk ketchup too because heinz too sour for Trini taste..and what about KFC patented pepper sauce!! Where else you ever hear bout dat!?? Go McDonald's in the US and ask for Matouk ketchup nah!
Man you so out of the loop eh,your brain seems over frozen just like your dinner..
And Mexico not in the Caribbean idiot..also KFC Independence Square alone consumes more than 29 million in chicken a year!!! GTFO!

Emir, you must've gotten something wrong somewhere.
The chicken imported from the USA is not for local consumption, but turned around as exports to poor(er) Caribbean neighbors, with Jamaica being the main beneficiary. This is done as a gesture of goodwill.

Yuh in retreat
Sorry but having spent time in the industry, I have to tell you that Bravos on the mark here- KFC chicken is Arawak chicken
Having said that Arawak has the poorest standards in the country. Meat inspectors in Arawak used to ask their colleagues who going down Nutrimix to pick up some chicken for them
2016-06-18 13:42:01
EMIR: YOU ARE VERY WRONG HERE.
KFC chicken in (Barbados AND) Trinidad is 100% local raised.
Having said that, you are absolutely correct that VERY POOR grade chicken is imported into ALL CARIBBEAN MARKETS and sold in supermarkets.
Side note: Avoid it all!!!!!

The BBC carried out an investigation a few years ago,and it was all about chicken,and the way it was farmed slaughtered and kept.It was found that many farms did not stick to Health and Safety regulations.The chicken went to many popular fast food resturants and small butchers.This is the UK and if,with all the health measures in store you can still be fooled...I hope allyuh understand.Some years ago Trinidad sued a big oil company in the USA and won,they were paid millions in compensation,could TT take legal action again,yuh never know.Having seen this happen in TT,ah wonder what the other islanders eating,allyuh better check,could be dog and cat.

Buds, this is nothing new. Happens in Jamaica and other Caribbean islands also and not only with imported food.
What is happening here is that someone had the guts to put it in print.
Defective and sub-par medical equipment and worthless and harmful prescription drugs declared unfit for the North American market are routinely sent to the Caribbean and parts of Africa as a measure of goodwill.
