ghostme80

This is not something new. In the past happened before. Affected brands if im not mistaken were king cup and tc boy. There were others but cant remember the name as they were less known brands


mono-the-protogen

welp... now i have trust issues eating canned sardines now. nope. just nope.


Ho-Lee-Fuku

Same.. next time i will cut open to check first before heating...


RealisticAd837

Well if you heat it high, it should not matter.


uncertainheadache

You're already doing it right by heating it


chococrou

Doesn’t most meat/fish have parasites? That’s why you’re supposed to cook it thoroughly.


Ho-Lee-Fuku

Maybe this one is special hard to kill parasite? The Malaysia authority treat this as a very serious case.


HayakuEon

Anisakis is a parasite killed by heat. Very common in sushi, that's why sushi chefs inspect raw fish fillets.


three_legged_kerusi

Just curious whether this worms that were found, were they already dead when found? Cause I imagine these fish in cans are cooked, and the cans are probably sterilized in heat too


HayakuEon

Worms are 100% dead. Anisakis are killed by heat


GiantCake00

The canned sardines have already been cooked fully. Most people who will eat it will heat it up, or cook it more. The parasites are dead. Most seafood you eat have parasites, that's why it's advised not to eat raw seafood in some places. Not all parasites affect humans, it's just nasty to think about. You most definitely have parasites on or in you too. It's just the ecosystem.


Ho-Lee-Fuku

Thanks. Then would you buy this affected batch of Sardines as reported in the news?


Downtown_Marzipan404

If you always cook your food, this parasitic nematodes does not affect you in any way, unless you are japanese love to eat raw seafood. Swimming in sea and drink a bit of sea water you already ingest numerous nametodes, be it free living or parasitic one, but no one bat an eye on that😅. If they really cook the can sardine there should be no living nematodes in there, how the heck they cook it🤷‍♂️


tepung_

The worm already there during capture. Cook kill the worm but worm still there. Im not sure about safety, but our health ministry had own rule like how much is allowed or whatever. We had similar cases last time. Iinm the fish is souced from contaminated area. So MOH ban the brand So dont cheap out when buying sardines.


tachCN

Lots of canned fish contain parasites, doesn't matter whether its cheap or expensive. I mean, heck, they've even been used to estimate changes in ocean health: [https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/decades-old-cans-of-salmon-reveal-changes-in-ocean-health/](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/decades-old-cans-of-salmon-reveal-changes-in-ocean-health/) Either way, the canning process will kill practically everything, so unless they found \_live\_ worms... Feels more like they're looking for an excuse to fine them.


dolphin8282

They didn’t say if the worms were dead or alive? If dead it’s a non issue, lots of fish have parasites. So I’m guessing they were possibly alive, maybe the canning process was poorly done and some eggs survived and hatched?


Downtown_Marzipan404

If the potograph is from the sample, that's a living nematode. I studied plant parasitic nematodes, my sis on marine nematodes, dead nematodes does not look like that.


Ho-Lee-Fuku

What if, for example, the buyer feed the sardines uncooked, to his cat or dog? Anyway, sardines are already cooked and ready to eat right? We are just reheating it right? I kind of remember eating sardines once, straight from the can without heating, long long time ago.


KingsProfit

Yeah, you can eat straight from the can.


MoreLessTer

Common worm parasite in fish are anisakis. Their only risk to us if we swallow them live, even then not serious as they can only last few days inside us and their early life requires crustaceans to develop. As long as they're dead, be it by cooking or chewing, it's safe. There's really shouldn't be anything surprising from this. Even clean aquarium isn't safe from parasite, and you expect 0 of them from farmed fish??


Ho-Lee-Fuku

So you are willing to swallow this batch of Sardines? Good, we've found a volunteer!


MoreLessTer

Cooked, chew and swallow, sure. Been there done that, even. Rawdog swallow, nope.


Natural-You4322

Lel. Any food got chance of parasite. Just cook them properly. Canned food is cooked so safe from parasite


Ho-Lee-Fuku

Ya. You said canned food is cooked and safe from parasite. BUT THIS case is the canned sardines are found With parasites! Alive!


Natural-You4322

No where in the article says it is alive


Ho-Lee-Fuku

No where in the article says the parasites found are cooked or dead. Photos suggest they are alive and thus raised the alarm and investigation.


HayakuEon

Parasites can't survive the heat.


Natural-You4322

Lol bodo


Sorry2mecha2

Dune


kurangak

the parasite already cooked together with the sardines


Successful-Yak-2397

SG authority sleeping oso lmao


sakanaction1

Parasitic worms are common in fishes- like bugs on a cabbage and mould on fruits. As long as it is dead, they will not harm the consumer so cook your fish throughly. Stop scaremongering


Fit_Deal6007

Ayam brand?


NEKOmancer92

Canned sardines still a thing?


Accomplished-Yak8584

Ain't they gonna name which brand they r referring too?


Ho-Lee-Fuku

Yalor.. wtf the photos never show the Brands... Maybe the Malaysia authorities are afraid to piss off the China company? And only dare to punish the local illegal importer?


DormantLife

My understanding of this is that with any legal proceedings, they keep media in the dark until a decision is made so that the jury doesn't get influenced.


Terereera

now i have trust issue about my food.


UnusualBreadfruit306

Boikot Singapore products
