Recently, it was reported online"When dining at the Prairie Roast Whole Lamb Restaurant, the 36-pound live sheep weighed 6.9 pounds after being roasted."This incident has aroused social concern. Our bureau attaches great importance to this and has set up an investigation team to conduct verifications by communicating with consumers, questioning merchant leaders and employees, obtaining merchant purchase ledgers and transaction records, viewing on-site videos, and entrusting statutory verification agencies to inspect measuring instruments. The relevant information is now reported as follows:
Kuai Technology News on February 24, according to the "Nan'an Release" announced today, the Chongqing Nan'an District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau issued a situation report:

After consumers purchase the roasted whole lamb set meal from "Grand Prairie Roasted Whole Lamb Nanbin Road Bell Tower Store" (which is an individual industrial and commercial household, and the business license name is "Nan'an District Business Catering Store") through the Meituan platform,I went to the store to select sheep at 11:01 on February 16, 2026, and supervised the weighing and slaughtering of the live sheep on site (the weight of the live sheep was 36 kilograms), and marked the legs and tails respectively.
At around 19:00 that day, the consumer arrived at the store and confirmed the previous relevant marks, but raised objections to the finished sheep after roasting, thinking it was "too small". After being weighed on site, the actual weight was 6.9 kilograms (excluding sheep head, sheep blood, sheep hooves, sheep skin, sheep offal, etc.).
After investigation, it was found that the businessman had abnormally and continuously fed corn, hay and other feed and water to the sheep from the time he purchased the live sheep to before slaughtering, in order to achieve the purpose of falsely increasing the weight of the live sheep.
The store is suspected of violating the relevant provisions of the "Consumer Rights Protection Law of the People's Republic of China".Our bureau has ordered it to stop illegal activities, pay consumer expenses in accordance with the "refund one and compensate three", and strictly handle it in accordance with the law and regulations based on the follow-up investigation, resolutely maintain the order of the market with integrity, and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers..
