Italian police arrested a Naples butcher after discovering worm-infested meat for sale in his store that was 10 years past its expiry date, the ANSA news agency reported Friday.
Shocked food safety inspectors discovered pasta and biscuits crawling with parasites, rotting meats and dairy products, and olives covered in mold in the store of horrors.
The butcher tampered with expiry dates on the products in order to keep on selling the items, even though some were a decade old, the report said.
Police arrested the butcher on suspicion of endangering public health.
