M'sia finds parasitic worms in China canned sardine
Malaysian authorities have detected parasites in a shipment of canned sardine weighing over 16 tonnes imported from China via Singapore, Malaysian media reported. Malaysian Quarantine and Inspection Services Department (Maqis) said that samples taken from the batch were...
Is this unusual? I thought wild-caught fish often (usually?) had parasitic worms in it, and that they were generally not dangerous to humans, at least as long as the fish was cooked. There's a video I saw, which I don't suggest looking up, in which a chef explains that he knows the fish is fresh if the worms are still moving.
Usually farmed fish, or wild fish caught near fish farms, are the ones riddled with parasites.
I suppose it depends on what type, and if they are hazardous to humans.
Worms- ok. Worms that also affect us - not OK.
tips fedora ...M'sia.
It's presumably wild caught fish. Fish live in the ocean. So do parasites. Now, if they were LIVE parasites in a canned product, that's some crazy shit
I used to work in a fish market that processed wild caught fish fresh every day. Nearly every single fish we cut had some worms in it. Cod was the worst, salmon was middle of the road, flat fish like flounder seemed to be the least wormy but still had it. Maybe they were just harder to spot idk.
Can we talk about your experience with swordfish, if any? I’ve heard horror stories about massive worms in swordfish
I wasn't skilled enough to be trusted with swordfish so I can't attest to that unfortunately lol
Yikes. Pretty scary.
My spouse: "Meat's meat...."
🤢
so.... the shipment of sardines was 16 tons? or the worms were 16 tons?
That's a big worm...
