On October 21, 2026, the Consumer Protection Police Division (CPPD), in collaboration with the Department of Livestock Development, conducted a raid on a warehouse facility reportedly operated by Chinese investors. According to reports from Matichon Online, authorities discovered more than five tons of illegal pork offal stored on the premises.
