Aquaculture in

This use has
not been allowed

Recall for frozen shrimp: Antibiotic residues too high
This is what happened now with a
frozen product
from
All-Fish
, which has existed since the 1990s
.
In the case of the
shrimp skewers
with the designation "frozen shrimp skewers, 800g net" with a
minimum best-before date until the end of 2022
, an excess of the permissible antibiotic residues was found in a sample.
Lot number: L 1/20 / F-16-ALL-FISH VN016II001
Best before: until the end of 2022
EU approval number: DL 16 - Vietnam
The product was
mainly sold through
wholesale markets
from
March to July 2020
and can be returned to the respective sales outlets.
The manufacturer
apologizes in the recall
, which also
lebensmittelwarnung.de
is understood the portal of the Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety, with all
concerned
for "the inconvenience".
Danger to the immune system: Resistant germs
Despite various regulations, the food industry is particularly affected by recalls.
The most common causes are also known.
If consumers consume
food that is contaminated with antibiotics
, germs that are actually only present in the human body can
develop
resistance to conventional drugs
.
However, some experts see this
danger
not only in the consumption of contaminated foods, but also in the frequent prescriptions of antibiotics when people are sick.
