Thai shrimp free of COVID-19

 

   

BANGKOK (NNT) - The Ministry of Commerce built confidence for shrimp consumption by linking shrimp farmers and the Thai Restaurant Association to sell shrimp and other foods without passing a middle market.

 

Minister of Commerce, Jurin Laksanawisit, stressed that Thai seafood, especially shrimp, can be consumed as usual.

 

Experts, including doctors and Department of Fisheries officials, have already confirmed that shrimp and other seafood are safe as long as they are hygienically cooked.

 

At the same time, the ministry is also inviting shrimp farmers, convenience store operators and the Thai Restaurant Association, with over 500 member restaurants in Bangkok, to promote shrimp consumption by selling without passing a middle-market, in the hope of raising the public’s confidence in the safety of seafood consumption.

What about doing something about the foreign slave labour working these farms and all the antibiotics and other chemicals used to grow prawns instead of this useless press release?

And who handles the shrimps before they are cooked? 

I guess the chef will come to the table and ask his guest how they like the shrimps...

Thank god all those shrimp where masks before they are sterilized in boiling water.  I've heard that shrimp sneezes can spread Covid-19 up to a few meters.

YOu can also eat them raw, which according to my Thai wife happens in Thailand.

I also do sometimes, but mostly just done. But always wash then firmly.
