Thank you for bringing this issue back into public awareness. I saw a story on this many years ago and remembered, but a lot of people seem to have forgotten, so progress seems stalled.
@fizzys26 I’m more concerned about the progress of a sterile, safe environment in hospitals.....like the hospital that the man who died caught the super-bug in in the first place during a simple out-patient procedure. And he was only one of three. 😳
Be prepared for the unionized workers cleaning the operating room and the equipment. Also note that hospitals have jettisoned most of their handwashing stations in favor of disenfectant. Does the SEIU afflict Canadian hospitals much? Remember: unions are about pensions and power, and other things may take a back seat.
I buy cheap food because I'm living halfway below the poverty line and I still gotta eat. Don't act like everyone buying cheap is doing so bc they're not willing to pay more, some of just plain CAN'T pay more.
Eating healthy is cheaper than eating the standard American/Canadian diet. Go buy a giant bag of spinach, beans, brown rice, oatmeal, etc. Save the planet, save money and your health all at once! No brainer!!
Great but ask yourself a question can u eat half of what u buy but good quality Stuff can be more healty n happy and u know u been doing quality vs quantity dont answer just ask urself :)

What about red meat which contains hormones, antibiotics, pesticides and so on? Nobody says nothing about it? because of people greed. People turn blind eyes to this matter. Everybody knows red meat is highly carcinogenic, it causes colon cancer, bladder, breast and prostate cancer.
I stopped eating shrimps in Canada 5+ years ago after I went to China to study aquaculture and learnt what was put in they water. And something like 70% of shrimp in Canada is imported. It made weekly dim sum with family challenging haha
Best shrimp from company: "Natural Shrimp", an American company. Small company, but great technology. Farm grown salt water shrimp in clean water using great water cleansing technology... If the company expands, this could be huge.
One of the super bugs is a strain of Staphylococcus aureus , which is called MRSA. another is VRE, We need to ban pond raised shrimp. Nor, would I buy shrimp from Wall Mart. If a package says "wild Caught" and "Product of India", it is pond raised. If the FDA can change egg sizes, they can properly inspect shrimp.
Update: Bought some Marina Del Rey wild caught Argentina Red Shrimp at Superstore ( Loblaws.) On the back of the package in small print. Says product of China. Emailed Marina Dey Rey head Office in Quebec. No response. Returned the shrimp to Superstore for refund. Sobeys sell Argentina Wild Red shrimp under the Sensations Brand.

The water barely has oxygen because of the amount of shrimp in each pond. Some place in Indiana USA has successfully made a farm that has clean shrimp. They certainly don’t have the market cornered and 99% of store bought seafood is from a 3rd world country shrimp farm. Walmart is the biggest supplier of dirty water shrimp. Hence the price.

An infected endoscope??? Aren't they supposed to be completely sterilized before use? How could it be infected with anything at all, much less a superbug???
I’m thinking poorly trained employees or employees that don’t care who maybe are by passing steps and are not doing their job in sterilizing these instruments.
maybe, they washed it with anti-bacterial soap but did not kill the germs cause it was anti bacteria resistant so the next guy got infected via from the previous person.

The frequency of contamination in their samples from India doesn't surprise me in the slightest. India is a very bad place to be injured ATM.

Taesu A Endoscope is a reusable equipment. A base model endoscopy cost about 100,000 USD. I used to cleaned them when I worked in the hospital. Mostly likely, it was not clean properly and that was why 3 people got sick from it.
Organic food grow your own i live in Kansas everything organic my best friends farms no antibiotic beef chickens lambs.We hunt are own Deer so its all fresh. i grown my own veggies NO ANTIBIOTIC DIET is best or your gut will pay the price..GREAT EATS YALL 🌾🌾🌾🌻🌻🌻🌻
If you hunt for deer, can you be sure of what they've been eating? They might eat plants that have been treated with pesticides or have other contaminants. Kinda the same with fresh caught fish.
In the video, frozen samples from across Asia were being tested. How did the bacteria survive for so long under freezing temperatures? Considering it would take at least a month for cargo ships to deliver them to shore.
Bacteria are stored in -80C temperatures in the lab and they can be cultured from these vials for years. They're able to survive these conditions pretty easily
@@vintageb8 yeah, sea food is supposed to replace the oil in the future, but I kinda fail to see how that's gonna be possible when farmed fish isn't sustainable (farming on land is an option tho). We have strict regulations and I mean it's better than oil right, idk. :) Bra å se at jeg ikke er alene😄
Wait a minute, they didn't even bother to do a test on the local Canadian shrimps. So they just blindly tell the viewers to buy local without proving it's safer?
My manager at the seafood counter I used to work at used to tell me that at some farms in China they hang chicken cages above shrimp and fish ponds to feed them chicken shit. I feel like I’ve already commented about this before on a similar video. But it happened and I completely believe him. He’s Chinese so I just can’t see him lying about that randomly for no reason considering it’s disgusting.
Another factor leading to transmission of these superbugs: not scrubbing your hands (and tools, if you're a surgeon). Soap that's not antibacterial doesn't kill bacteria, but it will help immensely in washing it away: it's also why you should dry your hands with a towel rather than letting it air dry. Please, wash your hands thoroughly for twenty seconds at least, particularly if you work in a hospital, food service, or in a school. If you run a business with those air-drying machines for wet hands, please consider replacing those with paper towel dispensers.
Did I blame them? I’m not surprised that India is full of E. coli. Malaria etc. You are correct Canada is dumb for even importing garbage from India. This is Canada’s fault 100% for not checking imports from a country where hygiene is an afterthought.
Well, I am from India from the coastal region, I usually eat fresh seafood. And Yes the things that are getting exported is farm-produced shrimps most probably . People just don't understand that life is more important than business.
Several years ago I contracted a staph infection, was put on antibiotics. After the first course, which 'almost' took care of it, I was put on a second course. After that course, it mutated into M.R.S.A. and scalded skin syndrome. Three more courses and three months into the infection, it mutated into a super bug that couldn't be detected by regular tests. During the 8th course, which was intravenous antibiotics, I went into anaphylactic shock. The emergency unit was right next to the nurses station. It was then I took matters into my owns hands and did research to find natural antibiotics. These included several essential oils, including wild oregano oil, and many other remedies including silver and other things to restore my immune system. It took over month to disappear, but it was a safe route back to health. Since then, I'm keen to keep my immune system in good repair. I've never had a flu vaccine, havn't had flu for many years and no colds as well. I eat mainly organic, which avoids GMO's and glyphosates.
Good to hear that . In India we are coocking our food with spices like turmeric , cumin etc which are anti bacterial in nature . Our oils are natural and food is cooked properly . West is run by corporate who use healthcare as system to harvest humans for various medicene , that is people are getting so many dieseas . If you follow natural stuff body will be safe .
Yes she isn't telling the truth. She is more afraid of bad press is she pulled most of the shrimp of the stores and hurting trade by making them enforce regulations. She does not have a solution so it's best to let things go this way.
One thing i get out of his homecook experiment is we all need to have an autoclave, UV lamp, ethylene oxide machine install in our kitchen. And follow aseptic technique while cooking
Hello from New Zealand. My sympathy to the lady who lost her husband. I now use a wheelchair due to contaminated spinal rods being placed in my back. Taken a giid 5 years to get rid of it. As i had to wait till spine had fused. Thankfully for me they we able to keep it suppressed for that time. Antibiotics have their place to cure and kill infections, but not to be used as a preventative.
Well, it didn’t surprise me. The lady who was doing the cook didn’t washed her hands with soap after handling the shrimps and kept using the same paper(which already contaminated) to wipe her hands.
Even though Canadian shrimp may have less antibiotic resistant bacteria, it is still possible that there is pathogenic bacteria (e.g. E. coli O157:H7) in them. These pathogenic ones can be not resistant but they can obtain resistance by taking antibiotic resistance genes from other existing bacteria. For example, if you use the same knife or cutting board for the shrimp having non antibiotic resistant but pathogenic bacteria and other types of food that has different bacteria with resistance at the same time, this pathogen can not only contaminate that other type of food also take antibiotic resistance genes from different bacteria and become resistant. So I guess the best method to avoid these nasty bacteria is make sure about hygiene in your kitchen and cooking thoroughly
@@Nicholas-f5 I guess it's less relative to vegetarians/vegans. But cross-contamination from these food to plant-based food could be easy if both types of foods are handled together. Also this whole thing explains "superbugs" can be transferred internationally in many ways, by travelers and foods.
@@Nicholas-f5 Actually there are studies out there that found resistant bacteria from imported vegetables as well so we should be all be careful whether you are vegan/vegetarian or not
Boils down to the fact that the food supply is not safe and nothing is being done to be secure it. Profit motive is huge, and anything will be done to earn more.
In Louisiana " south Louisiana " almost all people buy their shrimp from local shrimpers that are caught from the Gulf of Mexico or we catch our own same goes for bull frogs, turtles, crawfish, crabs, fish, and other wildlife meat we eat
Washing foods usually helps with pesticides and herbicides in a way it doesn't with antibiotics. Also, P & H is more of a "now" effect in that it can make you sick, but in less than a long-term way. This is not to undercut your question because it's a very valid point given agricultural runoff. But farmed shrimp/prawns are less likely to come in direct contact with P & H than with antibiotics (which are specifically added).
I'm from VN, I rarely eat shrimp becauseI don't like it, I have H.pylori and just finished my second dose of antibiotic because my H.pylori is resistance with amoxicillin ( the medicine I use in the first dose ), the last time I used this antibiotic before H.pylori treatment is more than 10 years ago because I have mild allergic reaction with this medicine.....
"You get what you pay for" has for a long time not been a consumer driven issue. Yes we know the importance of a car and we can research it's safety. I'm sure the organic shrimp and other organic products people purchase are because they do want the best for their family and then it turns out that it's just the same crap or worse then non-organic. We do not have the means to test the foods we eat. They did this test and didn't even tell us the products that were contaminated. That would have given us some consumer power to not purchase those brands and force the company to change its processing.
I'm curious why they aren't exploring the use of anti-microbial metals like silver. They are already using silver for wounds, surgeries, and catheters. I know they may have to get creative in order to prevent the patient from being damaged by the silver. Maybe something like colloidal silver. I know I used it to cure my pink without antibiotics.
Just buy wild caught bay shrimp and you've eliminated the problem. West Coast Canadian and American shrimp fisheries (Oregon to Alaska) are certified sustainable as well.
On a motorcycle trip through Vietnam. For the past 300 km today. There has been nothing but fish farms in the water in the bays and inlets. You can see them clearly on google earth kinda interesting mostly between Qui Nhon and Cam Ranh. They kinda looks like the agricultural fields in sask and Alberta. I think most of the ones in Vietnam are family run. So there is no telling what the heck they are putting in the water. And there are thousands upon thousands of ponds.
Canada exports asbestos in to India and other third world countries. India and other third world countries return the favor by exporting poisoned shrimp in to Canada. It's a wonderful world we live in. 😳

@@Nicholas-f5 it's not just meat. I've seen several veggie callbacks in British Columbia over recent years. It's A problem for any food that is mass produced. Also for small producers but easier to manage.
@@jamescrockett88 Sorry. Pretty much any food that you eat is going to have the potential to be contaminated. The only way that you can be as absolutely safe as possible is to produce and cook your own food. Being vegan won't help.
I had a superbug 2 years ago in my arm, many antibiotics and trips to the hospital. The only thing that works was a cream I had to use inside my nose... I had to call the lab in the US to let them know I was doing that... worked amazing... it was experimental... Also constant hot baths with bleach... This is no joke, hurted so so much, was terrible...
Where can I buy safe shrimp? I don’t want to have to go through bags of shrimp, reading labels. As much as I love shrimp, I’m through purchasing them until I can be assured they are safe and antibiotic free. Funny, they are sale this week at Jewel and we’re on my list to purchase. Thanks for this informative video!
Wow! We consume too much shrimps from India and now I’m totally scared what I found out at market place. I still have un open bag fresh shrimps from India but now I decided to return and NEVER buy shrimps from India anymore.
Just cooking it properly 😂😂😂 that resistant bacteria can leave else where not only in shrimp ... it even can leave in ur fruit , vegetable even ur clothed if u not wash it... why bother ??? Just stay clean , go shower 2 times a day... clean ur house and cook ur food not eat them raw u will be safe 😂😂😂😂.... is better u still have food than u don’t have nothing to eat ...
I just want to say something here. I am not taking side or anything but just explaining the other side of the story. So I am from India where we have lots of shrimp farming. And I know they use antibiotics but the thing is most of the times they have to use it. They take loans to make pools, food for shrimps maintenance etc. Plus they are open pools so they spend days and nights at the place to take care of it. Literally sleeping onsite in make shift tents to change waters when its due and available. There can be many factors effecting the harvest like diseases, excess rain or even just another jealous person who may contaminate it. It's not that easy to do it. Now they do it because it sells in North America. There's demand for it. For them it's just their livelihood. If North America would be stringent enough to make rules that doesn't allwos shrimps with antibiotics I m sure it will stop or find alternatives. And yes we ourselves dnt eat that stuff much may be few times a year. We mostly eat wild fish from sea or rivers. Also that idea of indoor farming. That's great but as the chef says you get for what you pay. That indoor farm itself is of high investment forget running it. Anything similar is impossible in India not because of finance or technology but because of availability of 24 hour electricity. In our villages we used to have power cuts every day for few hours. So to maintain temperature and water required is just impossible. Now it's bettered to few days a week. Anyways the only alternative I think is to pay high price for food or avoid eating it.

I hope she sues the hospital
Organic food grow your own i live in Kansas everything organic my best friends farms no antibiotic beef chickens lambs.We hunt are own Deer so its all fresh. i grown my own veggies NO ANTIBIOTIC DIET is best or your gut will pay the price..GREAT EATS YALL 🌾🌾🌾🌻🌻🌻🌻
T Love it’s why I hunt and fish and do a big garden
Not everyone had access to those thing is it? I live in Japan. Everything is fresh to eat Raw.
What if the animals are sick? You might loose them all.
If you hunt for deer, can you be sure of what they've been eating? They might eat plants that have been treated with pesticides or have other contaminants. Kinda the same with fresh caught fish.
organic is not safer
In the video, frozen samples from across Asia were being tested. How did the bacteria survive for so long under freezing temperatures? Considering it would take at least a month for cargo ships to deliver them to shore.
bacteria don't die to those temps, just hibernate.
Bacteria are stored in -80C temperatures in the lab and they can be cultured from these vials for years. They're able to survive these conditions pretty easily
Jacky Ly the freezing will kill parasites but not bacteria
someone needs to fix that hospital "oops we gave you a superbug" notification policy. That kinda shit deserves an in-person visit
I love how I'm probably the only Norwegian watching cbc Marketplace
Du er ikke alene! ;)
reminds me of Norwegian salmon and its controversy
@@vintageb8 yeah, sea food is supposed to replace the oil in the future, but I kinda fail to see how that's gonna be possible when farmed fish isn't sustainable (farming on land is an option tho). We have strict regulations and I mean it's better than oil right, idk. :)
Bra å se at jeg ikke er alene😄
Wait a minute, they didn't even bother to do a test on the local Canadian shrimps. So they just blindly tell the viewers to buy local without proving it's safer?
You're worried about antibiotic resistant bacteria on shrimp produced with no antibiotics?
Stormwern would be nice to have proof of that
My manager at the seafood counter I used to work at used to tell me that at some farms in China they hang chicken cages above shrimp and fish ponds to feed them chicken shit. I feel like I’ve already commented about this before on a similar video. But it happened and I completely believe him. He’s Chinese so I just can’t see him lying about that randomly for no reason considering it’s disgusting.
Another factor leading to transmission of these superbugs: not scrubbing your hands (and tools, if you're a surgeon). Soap that's not antibacterial doesn't kill bacteria, but it will help immensely in washing it away: it's also why you should dry your hands with a towel rather than letting it air dry. Please, wash your hands thoroughly for twenty seconds at least, particularly if you work in a hospital, food service, or in a school. If you run a business with those air-drying machines for wet hands, please consider replacing those with paper towel dispensers.
awww geez. why am I not surprised. thanks for showing us this
I only buy wild shrimp from Argentina. I rinse them well before cooking. Cook for 5 minutes in boiling water and rinse again.
do you use soap?
@@purpl3grape do you eat soap ? 😎
@@essenegnostic8711 marina del ray shrimp wild caught and processes in Argentina and Peru.
It doesnt matter how many times you rinse it...
@@janvictoria123 please explain further. They have sodium bisulphate added as a preservative. That's on the package label.
New Delhi strain of E. coli? Considering the hygiene and sanitation of that region I’m not surprised.
Did I blame them? I’m not surprised that India is full of E. coli. Malaria etc. You are correct Canada is dumb for even importing garbage from India. This is Canada’s fault 100% for not checking imports from a country where hygiene is an afterthought.
@@sup2320 100%
Well, I am from India from the coastal region, I usually eat fresh seafood. And Yes the things that are getting exported is farm-produced shrimps most probably . People just don't understand that life is more important than business.
Several years ago I contracted a staph infection, was put on antibiotics. After the first course, which 'almost' took care of it, I was put on a second course. After that course, it mutated into M.R.S.A. and scalded skin syndrome. Three more courses and three months into the infection, it mutated into a super bug that couldn't be detected by regular tests. During the 8th course, which was intravenous antibiotics, I went into anaphylactic shock. The emergency unit was right next to the nurses station.
It was then I took matters into my owns hands and did research to find natural antibiotics.
These included several essential oils, including wild oregano oil, and many other remedies including silver and other things to restore my immune system. It took over month to disappear, but it was a safe route back to health. Since then, I'm keen to keep my immune system in good repair. I've never had a flu vaccine, havn't had flu for many years and no colds as well. I eat mainly organic, which avoids GMO's and glyphosates.
Good to hear that . In India we are coocking our food with spices like turmeric , cumin etc which are anti bacterial in nature . Our oils are natural and food is cooked properly . West is run by corporate who use healthcare as system to harvest humans for various medicene , that is people are getting so many dieseas . If you follow natural stuff body will be safe .
Sorry but the last times I got bad food poisoning was from several Indian restaurants. Never again indian restaurant #
My ❤ goes out to her.
I feel like this has been known for a while and now, 10 years later, we’ll address the problem.
What Canadian brands of shrimp should I buy? 30% more $$$ is worth it.
Watching in 2021 .....WOW.....from Pennsylvania
Absolutely that politician was absolutely not telling the absolute truth.
Yes she isn't telling the truth. She is more afraid of bad press is she pulled most of the shrimp of the stores and hurting trade by making them enforce regulations. She does not have a solution so it's best to let things go this way.
Absolutely.
One thing i get out of his homecook experiment is we all need to have an autoclave, UV lamp, ethylene oxide machine install in our kitchen. And follow aseptic technique while cooking
Hello from New Zealand. My sympathy to the lady who lost her husband. I now use a wheelchair due to contaminated spinal rods being placed in my back. Taken a giid 5 years to get rid of it. As i had to wait till spine had fused. Thankfully for me they we able to keep it suppressed for that time. Antibiotics have their place to cure and kill infections, but not to be used as a preventative.
Keep up Marketplace. You guys are doing great Job!
Well, it didn’t surprise me. The lady who was doing the cook didn’t washed her hands with soap after handling the shrimps and kept using the same paper(which already contaminated) to wipe her hands.
Even though Canadian shrimp may have less antibiotic resistant bacteria, it is still possible that there is pathogenic bacteria (e.g. E. coli O157:H7) in them. These pathogenic ones can be not resistant but they can obtain resistance by taking antibiotic resistance genes from other existing bacteria. For example, if you use the same knife or cutting board for the shrimp having non antibiotic resistant but pathogenic bacteria and other types of food that has different bacteria with resistance at the same time, this pathogen can not only contaminate that other type of food also take antibiotic resistance genes from different bacteria and become resistant. So I guess the best method to avoid these nasty bacteria is make sure about hygiene in your kitchen and cooking thoroughly
This is all pretty hilarious to vegans.
@@Nicholas-f5 I guess it's less relative to vegetarians/vegans. But cross-contamination from these food to plant-based food could be easy if both types of foods are handled together. Also this whole thing explains "superbugs" can be transferred internationally in many ways, by travelers and foods.
@@Nicholas-f5 Actually there are studies out there that found resistant bacteria from imported vegetables as well so we should be all be careful whether you are vegan/vegetarian or not
Thank you for such a very informative show! I will never eat shrimp again!
The indoor shrimp farm was amazing
Thanks so much for Dominic Cheung ( 多倫多美食兵團 Group) for sharing this video 👍👍👍
Where do you think all of the meds we take wind up ???? IN THE WATER !!!!!!!
Sad to find out that the Canadian Berezen Shrimp farm is closed in 2019 for high operation cost
I prefer to pay more for clean food.
Agree only eat Alaska Shrimp.
Maybe by the end of the century.
Boils down to the fact that the food supply is not safe and nothing is being done to be secure it. Profit motive is huge, and anything will be done to earn more.
In Louisiana " south Louisiana " almost all people buy their shrimp from local shrimpers that are caught from the Gulf of Mexico or we catch our own same goes for bull frogs, turtles, crawfish, crabs, fish, and other wildlife meat we eat
Am realy scared, look how God blesses human beings and protects them, there are millions of people who have been ill and don’t even know about it.
Kudos for not one ad.
Are they speaking about FARMED SHRIMP? CAUGHT WILD SHOULD NOT HAVE ANTIBIOTICS, SHOULD THEY?
Salmon, now shrimp, oh well, I'll just have a bowl of cereal.
What about pesticides and herbicides in those 51 bags?
Washing foods usually helps with pesticides and herbicides in a way it doesn't with antibiotics. Also, P & H is more of a "now" effect in that it can make you sick, but in less than a long-term way. This is not to undercut your question because it's a very valid point given agricultural runoff. But farmed shrimp/prawns are less likely to come in direct contact with P & H than with antibiotics (which are specifically added).
As a vietnamese, i'm watching this with held breath.
I wish they would show the actual label/names of the products
I'm from VN, I rarely eat shrimp becauseI don't like it, I have H.pylori and just finished my second dose of antibiotic because my H.pylori is resistance with amoxicillin ( the medicine I use in the first dose ), the last time I used this antibiotic before H.pylori treatment is more than 10 years ago because I have mild allergic reaction with this medicine.....
I'll give a super LIKE to this super report.
"You get what you pay for" has for a long time not been a consumer driven issue. Yes we know the importance of a car and we can research it's safety. I'm sure the organic shrimp and other organic products people purchase are because they do want the best for their family and then it turns out that it's just the same crap or worse then non-organic. We do not have the means to test the foods we eat. They did this test and didn't even tell us the products that were contaminated. That would have given us some consumer power to not purchase those brands and force the company to change its processing.
I'm curious why they aren't exploring the use of anti-microbial metals like silver. They are already using silver for wounds, surgeries, and catheters. I know they may have to get creative in order to prevent the patient from being damaged by the silver. Maybe something like colloidal silver. I know I used it to cure my pink without antibiotics.
so nothing is safe to eat -- perhaps we should grow seafood and meats from a single cell in a lab to avoid antibiotic.
just cook thoroughly
@@magno5157 That's not always good enough.
@@mydogskips2 handle with care...don't contaminate your kitchen
Buy Australian.
14:19 The host paid zero F to her nice dish.
This reminds me of why I never eat seafood. But then I am eating anything that is laced with hormones and antibiotics
Bacteriophages are the way forward. Plus Rife frequency therapy.
Cooking your meats through to completely done after washing them helps also.
Just buy wild caught bay shrimp and you've eliminated the problem. West Coast Canadian and American shrimp fisheries (Oregon to Alaska) are certified sustainable as well.
On a motorcycle trip through Vietnam. For the past 300 km today. There has been nothing but fish farms in the water in the bays and inlets. You can see them clearly on google earth kinda interesting mostly between Qui Nhon and Cam Ranh. They kinda looks like the agricultural fields in sask and Alberta. I think most of the ones in Vietnam are family run. So there is no telling what the heck they are putting in the water. And there are thousands upon thousands of ponds.
Canada exports asbestos in to India and other third world countries.
India and other third world countries return the favor by exporting poisoned shrimp in to Canada.
It's a wonderful world we live in. 😳
Ya stop producing natural Oils.. make your own food.
Free money will make you eat luxury food items.
You want something cheap and want quality.
If you are so concern shouldn't you help with technology to poor countries so they can produce good quality food...
Canada is not innocent like baby..
@@Noname123rr maintaining a garden is not easy work and takes a lot of time. Often times it also involves using pesticides, herbicides, etc. which are bad for the environment.
@@plip_plop growing your own food absolutely does NOT require harmful pesticides or herbicides. There are many many natural ways to deal with weeds and pests.
1:56 im gonna say they all or nearly all have antibiotics. the pellets are thrown in the farm ponds when they are being grown.
Can u test chicken n beef
Meat is so hazardous and unhealthy!
@@Nicholas-f5 it's not just meat. I've seen several veggie callbacks in British Columbia over recent years. It's A problem for any food that is mass produced. Also for small producers but easier to manage.
I'm going vegan
@@jamescrockett88 Sorry. Pretty much any food that you eat is going to have the potential to be contaminated. The only way that you can be as absolutely safe as possible is to produce and cook your own food. Being vegan won't help.
@@Jayjen35 absolutely correct. Let's farm 😃
I had a superbug 2 years ago in my arm, many antibiotics and trips to the hospital. The only thing that works was a cream I had to use inside my nose... I had to call the lab in the US to let them know I was doing that... worked amazing... it was experimental... Also constant hot baths with bleach... This is no joke, hurted so so much, was terrible...
I’m probably the only person in the Philippines watching Marketplace. I wish we’d have our own Marketplace.
Where can I buy safe shrimp? I don’t want to have to go through bags of shrimp, reading labels. As much as I love shrimp, I’m through purchasing them until I can be assured they are safe and antibiotic free. Funny, they are sale this week at Jewel and we’re on my list to purchase. Thanks for this informative video!
Love love love marketplace.thanks for keeping us informed
I work with fish bacteria, and antimicrobial resistance is a common property in bacteria isolated from farmed fish.
choose from where your shrimp comes from. farm raised are mass-produced, lacking safe quality control.
That is why I don't buy imported prawns, especially the farmed variety.
Wow! We consume too much shrimps from India and now I’m totally scared what I found out at market place.
I still have un open bag fresh shrimps from India but now I decided to return and NEVER buy shrimps from India anymore.
Galitov Gervacio don’t eat lady finger from India too bcos the farmer inject antibiotics to make them grow larger!
Just cooking it properly 😂😂😂 that resistant bacteria can leave else where not only in shrimp ... it even can leave in ur fruit , vegetable even ur clothed if u not wash it... why bother ??? Just stay clean , go shower 2 times a day... clean ur house and cook ur food not eat them raw u will be safe 😂😂😂😂.... is better u still have food than u don’t have nothing to eat ...
I just want to say something here. I am not taking side or anything but just explaining the other side of the story.
So I am from India where we have lots of shrimp farming. And I know they use antibiotics but the thing is most of the times they have to use it. They take loans to make pools, food for shrimps maintenance etc. Plus they are open pools so they spend days and nights at the place to take care of it. Literally sleeping onsite in make shift tents to change waters when its due and available. There can be many factors effecting the harvest like diseases, excess rain or even just another jealous person who may contaminate it. It's not that easy to do it. Now they do it because it sells in North America. There's demand for it. For them it's just their livelihood. If North America would be stringent enough to make rules that doesn't allwos shrimps with antibiotics I m sure it will stop or find alternatives. And yes we ourselves dnt eat that stuff much may be few times a year. We mostly eat wild fish from sea or rivers. Also that idea of indoor farming. That's great but as the chef says you get for what you pay. That indoor farm itself is of high investment forget running it. Anything similar is impossible in India not because of finance or technology but because of availability of 24 hour electricity. In our villages we used to have power cuts every day for few hours. So to maintain temperature and water required is just impossible. Now it's bettered to few days a week. Anyways the only alternative I think is to pay high price for food or avoid eating it.
They just afraid of superbug. what a snowflake.
People put human waste in the pools?! That's horrible!
No more imported shrimps. From now on I'll buy Canadian shrimps but where can I buy Canadian shrimps?
So, what has the Canadian Government done about this?? Dusgusting!
I Do not eat shrimp or prawns anymore, especially from places with polluted seas and rivers.
Might as well cook meats until they almost get burnt and cleaning the kitchen with bleach everytime I cook just to be safe >~>
