Yes, Sometimes Meat Glows In The Dark

A 2005 BBC news bulletin tells of how Australians were alarmed by reports of glowing meat, and as with the Molepolole case, there were fears of radioactive contamination. At that time The New South Wales Food Authority assured the population the glow was caused by harmless Pseudomonas fluorescens a harmless type of bacteria. He said he understood people would be "shocked" to see their meat glowing in the fridge but said the bacteria were safe.

"It is important to remember that the micro organism responsible for the glow is not known to cause food poisoning," George Davey,  head of the Food Authority in Sidney said then.
