Mislabeled Canned Fish Seized From Samut Sakhon Factory

Thai officials seized more than 13,000 cans of fish from a factory in Samut Sakhon after products labelled as mackerel were found to contain another species. The Food and Drug Administration inspected the site after a Facebook video raised concerns about the contents of the canned fish. Officials said the facility failed to meet Good Manufacturing Practice standards during the inspection. Authorities ordered a full product recall and seized 12,760 cans from the factory, along with another 250 cans from retail locations. The FDA said selling substitute fish under a mackerel label could amount to consumer deception, even if the fish itself is safe to eat.
