Everything you wanted to know about supermarket food but were too afraid to ask

At my last job I worked with a guy who was previously a health inspector and had the dubious pleasure of inspecting a lot of restaurants. Needless to say he had a lot of interesting stories to tell that you probably didn't want to hear while you were eating your lunch. The most memorable one involved a dog stored in the restaurant freezer because the owner was waiting for spring to bury Fido when the ground thawed.

So, having wet your appetite for the gross and shocking you'll surely want to dive into Supermarket Secrets: Be Careful Where you Shop. When you've read it remember, that's Canada - do you think its going to be any better in the USA? Based on how many of my friends seem to have succumb to food-poisoning this year I somehow think we get just as much free salmonella as we do free-dumb. Thanks to Treehugger for the link.
