A european food fraud investigation has uncovered tainted tuna. Fresh tuna sells for twice the price of canned tuna. Illegally treated tuna may contain high amounts of histamine which can cause serious allergic reactions – histamines result from spoiling, something masked by faked reddening. The report reveals an interesting fallacy: fish frozen at -18°C is no longer fresh, making most of what is sold as “fresh” actually thawed frozen fish. Fish from the Baltic sea could end up in fish feed that is fed to a fish in Australia.
