Em vídeo, homem mostra pacotes do corte de carne “osso de patinho” no freezer de um supermercado. “A novidade da Friboi pra (sic) substituir a picanha que não chegou”, diz a legenda do vídeo no Facebook. “Será que o povo tá (sic) passando necessidade, que tem que pagar R$ 8 o quilo do osso?”, questiona o autor.

Publisher’s rating: Falso

The review found that osso do patinho was not a new supermarket product caused by an economic crisis. Assaí said it had sold the product since approximately 2014, and a supermarket association representative said it had been sold at retail for more than ten years, especially in regions where it is used in traditional dishes.
