One of the worst food industry disasters ever happened this week at a 'model' poultry processing factory in Northeastern China, killing over 120 workers due to ammonia poisoning. The factory processed about 100,000 chickens per day with a total workforce of 300-400. The factory had been praised by officials as being one of the most modern industrial food processing facilities in the country. Slaughterhouse work is known to be one of the most punishing and dangerous jobs in the world.
