Scientists at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGEN) looked at nearly 140 samples taken from 80 brands of beef, chicken, pork and turkey.

Beijing invests millions in laser writing scheme for pork productsbeijing-Â With a few days left before Chinese New Year,
pushing past mountains of bagged roast duck and revolving pyramids of luxury chocolate. A complete pig carcass hangs behind the meat counter, illuminated by a blue LED light,
revealing a series of numbers printed on the meat's surface. Å These numbers show the date that the pig was slaughtered,
Pork is Chinas most popular meat, and Beijing alone will consume nearly 30,000 pigs a day over the New Year period.
But eating pork in China can be risky. Last year, more than 4 million pounds of pork were recalled by the Chinese government after pigs in central China were found to have been injected with a fat-reducing drug called Clenbuterol.
Money-conscious Beijingers worry that water is injected into pork in order to increase its weight. One of the codes printed onto pig skin with a laser.
In response, Beijing's Government has launched the ŠMeat Reassurance  project. As well as the codes etched onto pigs bodies with lasers, customers at sixty-seven supermarkets across Beijing will receive a printed code each time they buy pork,
which can be used to check where where it was slaughtered. The project has already cost the government 2 million RMB (about 160,000 USD),

while supermarkets have more appeal for middle-class consumers. Few supermarket customers were aware of the machines allowing them to check the origins of their pork products.
The project helps Beijing's government to investigate food safety problems, Yuan said. Å In the past the people responsible for unsafe meat would often escape the blame,
unless they were filmed secretly by the media, Â he said. Å Now we can track exactly where the meat has travelled from,
which means if there is an outbreak of poisoning, the government can easily check who is responsible,
