Commonly referred to as botcha or bocha, double-dead meat is meat from poultry or livestock that have died due to disease. When consumed, the meat can cause diarrhea, food poisoning, stomach aches, and other illnesses.
According to the Department of Health (DOH), consumers can spot double-dead meat through the following signs: pale color with greenish or bluish tint, has sticky consistency, foul-smelling, and often has very low price tags. The buying public is also warned about vendors selling good meat mixed with double-dead ones.
