Smoked Rats Found In New York Meat Market

NEW YORK -- Mystery meat is all part of the job for New York's food safety inspectors. Stores across the city are selling all sorts of exotic meat.
There was a market in Queens that had 12 beefy armadillos in the front window. In Brooklyn, inspectors found 15 pounds of iguana meat. And a grocery in Manhattan had smoked rodents.
Joseph Corby, director of the state's Division of Food Safety and Inspection, said they've seen just about everything. He said if markets refuse to comply with food regulations, inspectors can, and do, shut them down.
