Foodmate News: on July 31: Poollap, the Secretary of Thailand Food and Drug Administration, said that a Facebook social platform user recently posted a picture of "fluorescent shrimp sushi. Shrimp and seafood glowing are caused by many reasons, including infection with luminescent bacteria. Generally speaking, seafood is contaminated by luminescent bacteria, but they are destroyed by heating during cooking. In sushi, seafood is mostly raw food that has not been cooked and heated, so it must be kept at a very low temperature to limit the number of bacteria.

Poollap went on to say that the FDA audits food production enterprises in accordance with good manufacturing practices (GMP) to control, supervise and monitor food safety. FDA has inspected the "Fluorescent shrimp sushi" sales locations and collect samples of sushi ingredients, which will be test specificly. If it is found to violate the provisions of the Food Law BE2522, it will be dealt with in accordance with the law.

Poollap, finally advised consumers not to eat raw foods, because raw foods may be infected with pathogenic microorganisms, which may cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, enteritis and other symptoms. It is recommended to buy food in a sanitary and disinfected place and choose freshly cooked food. The temperature during storage should not exceed 4 degrees Celsius. The food packaging must be labeled, including the name of the food, the name and address of the manufacturer, the net content, the production and the expired date, food additive information, food storage method and other information.

If consumers find non-standard or unsafe products, they can directly call the complaint hotline of the Thai Ministry of Public Health to file a complaint against the offender.
