Yes, some of them probably would. If a butcher is deboning in his or her butchery, he or she will have leftover meats. This stuff is not necessarily bad for people. In the case of soups, sauces, chicken stocks and so on, one is eating material which has been either flavoured by or involves a good deal of the product in question. It may not look particularly nice or we might not like the idea that we are eating desinewed meat, but it is not necessarily bad for people. There is no health risk necessarily as long as we do all the tests for food safety. However, that is different to selling something to a consumer and labelling it as something when, in fact, it is something else. That is essentially what has happened here.
