Issues against Century Pacific Group, truth or lie?

One email is circulating in the internet accusing the sanitation of producing the Philippine's local brand of canned sardines and corned beef. It rose my curiosity because it has mentioned the big-canned-food-producers-manufacturer in the Philippines, namely 555 Sardines and Argentina Corned Beef. Both are products of Century Pacific Group.

Uncertain, this message is posted for the purpose of clarification. Century Pacific Group should do public explanation regarding the matter because sanitation is a very big issue. Their commercial license is at stake.

Also, this is to inform the public about the issue. I am not imposing a recall or whatever action, however, the public deserves to know what was told.

The decision is for both party: (a) for Century Pacific Group to clean their name, (b) for the public to decide whether to purchase the product or not.


Written below is the circulated email. Kindly read and comment.


555 CANNED SARDINES AND ARGENTINA


mga kapamilya at kapuso ,totoo ito kasi yung 2 kasamahan namin sa marriage encounter,nagwork sa planta ng argentina ,naikwento na nila sa amin ito noon


Hey guys, if you like to eat 555 canned sardines and argentina corn beef, better think twice, or better yet cook them real good b4 you eat them. why? ive been to these plants just this morning to inspect and design a new mechanic safety "gadget" for the workers to use. but i found out that these goods specially the corned beef) are re-mixed manually by a worker b4 mechanicaly placing them inside the cans. the worker wears this boots before dunking himself inside the tank full of corned beef (as in tons and tons), using an ordinary shovel to manually mix them. since the product is already cooked, mainit sa loob while mixing them w/ the shovel. yung pawis ba naman ng worker eh tumutulo na from his chin down to the corned beef/sardines itself! yak pare! i know that these products have to be salty, but i didnt expect that a guy's dripping sweat would be an important ingredient. hindi ko alam kung matatawa ako o magagalit sa kanila. not only that, when the worker wants to take a break, like going to the CR to take a pee, he just goes there inside the CR w/o taking their boots off (that supposedly eh para sa loob lang ng food tank yon susuotin and tatanggalin mo when you get out) and back. when i decided to take a pee myself after a few minutes. kadiri pala loob ng CR nila, dumi tsong, no decent running water basa pa ng ibang piss yung surrounding toilets. so isipin nyo na naapakan nila yon then goes back to the food tank to do their work.

sinabihan ko nga yung bisor nila kaso nginitian lang ako! bweset! ganon pala don! nyek! i wont buy their stuff anymore. sarap pa naman ng argentina , on of the best corned beef I tasted in can. may hint of ihi pa pala yung product nila kaya masarap!
