Russians warned about canned food with fake fish

Rosquality: producers instead of saury use cheaper fish

Rosquality researched 53 percent of the market for canned saury. It turned out that producers instead of saury use other cheaper types of fish: Pacific herring and Far Eastern sardines. The results of the study are published on the organization's website.

The department warned that the fish is being substituted for fake because of the cost of raw materials: saury is more than seven times more expensive than sardines. At the same time, the minimum price for canned saury, where it really is, is 44.40 rubles per 100 grams. However, Russian federal chains continue to buy counterfeit products, according to Roskachestvo.

Only eight brands of canned food actually contained saury: Azbuka Morya, Vladimir Cannery, Dobroflot, Kapitan Vkusov, KitBay “,” Mamonovsky “,” 5 seas “,” Primrybsnab “. Saury was not found in the products of 11 brands: “Golden Choice”, “Istok Ideal 777”, “Sea Inside”, “Sea Mile”, “Marine Resources”, “Marine Commonwealth”, “Russian Fish World”, “Fish Island”, “Fish Tsar”, “Steering Wheel”, Sea miles.

According to RBC, Roskachestvo has applied to the Prosecutor General's Office with a request to deal with unscrupulous producers.

Most of the canned fish sold in Russia do not meet the standards quality. This conclusion was earlier reached by the specialists of the “Public Consumer Initiative”
