Food Safety Alert: Parasitic Infestation Detected in Frozen Fish Hake
On October 14, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving frozen fish hake originating from Argentina. Authorities have detected a parasitic infestation that poses potential health risks to consumers. This incident falls under the category of foreign bodies, highlighting the importance of vigilance in food safety practices.
Parasitic infestations in fish can lead to various health issues if consumed, including gastrointestinal disorders and other related diseases.
