A viral post showing raw chicken allegedly transported without proper covering has prompted calls for authorities to investigate possible food safety breaches.

A FOUR-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicle transporting raw chicken has recently sparked concerns over food safety and the way the meat was transported.

In a viral Threads post by @acsoneg02, a video showed several tonnes of raw chicken being transported in the back of the 4WD without being properly covered, raising questions about whether food handling standards had been observed.

“There was no plastic covering. Just left exposed like that and sold for others’ consumption,” the post read.
