Barramundi Everyone who lives in Australia will not be unfamiliar. It is a very famous fish in Australia. It is large in size, delicious in meat, and most importantly, it has few spines.
Perhaps many people have heard Barramundi's name and don't know it very well, so everyone must be familiar with its Chinese name-Blind Cao.
All major Chinese restaurants, Fish & Chips all use it as the main course cooking ingredients.
When many people are still immersed in the delicious food, there was a news report recently: 60% of the blind Cao (fish and chips in the Australian market) are
Fake! goods!
Why do you say that? It turns out that more than 60% of the blind cauldrons on the Australian market are imported, not domestically produced.
It seems that a lot of Australian seafood is imported from Southeast Asia.
These imported ones are also blind, but they are grown in other countries, and there is no difference in body shape, meat quality, taste, and nutritional value.
And the price is even cheaper!
Before the news broke, many people didn’t know that blind cauldrons could also be imported. After knowing that, many Australians expressed dissatisfaction. Australians believed in Australian production in terms of food and ingredients. It is believed that imported products are more or less defective, even though they are cheaper.
Some people even expressed concern that if there are bacteria and viruses in the large number of imported blinds, they may cause irreparable losses to the local aquaculture industry.
A fisherman said in an interview: If disease-containing fish enter the market and cause the disease to spread, the local fish farming industry will suffer an unprecedented blow and a large number of fisheries Will go bankrupt.
However, in order to prevent the emergence of infectious diseases in advance, the customs requires that the exporting country of the blind carrier must declare that the fish has undergone complete safety quarantine and will not carry any infectious diseases. Bacteria and disease.
But the report also pointed out that there is currently no evidence that there is a hidden safety hazard in the imported blind. The worries about coming to Australia are not unreasonable, because African swine fever is raging, and without good customs quarantine, the pig breeding industry in many countries has been wiped out.
Australian Customs also immediately banned all pork, whether raw or cooked, with or without packaging, from entering Australia.
Although most of the blind stalks were not native to Australia this time, there have not been any infectious diseases related to the blind stalks. Perhaps this is the reason why the government defaulted to importing a large number of blinds.
This can not help but remind us of the real and fake salmon that has been troubled in China. In fact, the Salmon we eat is rainbow trout from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau:
Because of the similar taste, Many shops use rainbow trout as fake salmon, but the quality is really far from it. Even in Australia, you can see these "False Salmon"
under the name of a resounding name, but they sell meat of worse quality. Australian restaurants are really getting darker...No Know if you have identified these real and fake fish in your life?
