Isaiah 53 I live in Florida and we’ve gotten warnings on imported shrimp and even some gulf shrimp. So if you eat shrimp you should be worried. Especially if you buy it frozen from Walmart. Remember Fukushima? But one water source of America’s imported shrimp. The shrimp farms in India are filthy waters and chemicals are used in mass amounts to keep disease down since the entire process is being done wrong. 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.

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.

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
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.
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.....
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. Because of the high frequency of antibiotic resistance in the general environment around there. I've heard horror stories about people down there for whatever reason getting into an accident and having to be medevaced home and having to lose a ton of skin. They just had to have it cut off straight up because of the necrosis infection spreading in their skin.
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 .
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.
@@NicholasLittlejohn 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 got it in my leg, super bug bone infection, for 6 yrs now, it sticks to steel rods in my leg, impossible to fix, bone is rotting, happy days living lower than poverty, and no CERB for me
Since this is a public documentary backed up by scientific evidence. Where can I get access to the scientific reports? Will be useful for my research. Much obliged.
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.
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.
After reading everyone response here and after watching market place report ... ask yourself the question ..... is shrimp really really really worth eatting ?
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.
What about if you soak with lemons or vinegars for certain time than removed and add sea salt into it . Bacteria can not live in oceans ? Did labs ever tested nature product before ?
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.
EAT CLEAN... SAVE YOURSELF .. There is a reason why GOD said not to eat certain food.. Gee u think THE CREATOR knows more then We do?! Nothing is perfect..but better to avoid what one can
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 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.
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
@@NicholasLittlejohn 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.
@@NicholasLittlejohn 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
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.
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 ...
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
That last guy has it right. Our priorities are the problem. People complain they can't afford fresh food and yet they have the newest in electronics and cars. "We, as Americans, are far more interested in the soccer game and the latest belly-button piercing in Hollywood celebrity culture than we are in whats going to become our flesh and bone at 6 o'clock"-Joel Salatin
Its funny its illegal to sell home grown chickens/other animals or unpasteraized milk but its totally legal when big companies load the food with toxic preservatives and antibiotics is totally legal...
Why not bother to cook it properly .... even Canadian shrimps not contain bacteria how do u know when u buy it from supermarket and place next to contain one 😂😂😂😂 are u thing the bacteria won’t move there when there’s label say Canadian shrimps 😂😂😂😂🤪... just wash it with beer and cook them well done in real fire not electric one 😂😂😂 u will be survive 🍻🍻🍻
Just great....more worries to the consumer but very nice to know than not to know. But what about other imported seafood...are superbugs lurking there as well???
Forget nuclear weapons, we should be prepared to deal with superbugs
Bacterias resistant to antibiotics have the lowest resistance to bacteriophages
Don't because the entire Pacific ocean is irradiated by Fukushima.

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
What Canadian brands of shrimp should I buy? 30% more $$$ is worth it.
Salmon, now shrimp, oh well, I'll just have a bowl of cereal.
Thank you for such a very informative show! I will never eat shrimp again!
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
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.....
This reminds me of why I never eat seafood. But then I am eating anything that is laced with hormones and antibiotics
Thank you for this video, you guys deserve worldwide coverage
Where do you think all of the meds we take wind up ???? IN THE WATER !!!!!!!
awww geez. why am I not surprised. thanks for showing us this
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. Because of the high frequency of antibiotic resistance in the general environment around there. I've heard horror stories about people down there for whatever reason getting into an accident and having to be medevaced home and having to lose a ton of skin. They just had to have it cut off straight up because of the necrosis infection spreading in their skin.
why is canada's food bureau is not doing tests on those shrimps? are they approving importations without any tests? and why did you not say the brand?
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 #
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.
Can u test chicken n beef
Meat is so hazardous and unhealthy!
@@NicholasLittlejohn 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 😃
The indoor shrimp farm was amazing
i got it in my leg, super bug bone infection, for 6 yrs now, it sticks to steel rods in my leg, impossible to fix, bone is rotting, happy days living lower than poverty, and no CERB for me
Thanks so much for Dominic Cheung ( 多倫多美食兵團 Group) for sharing this video 👍👍👍
Since this is a public documentary backed up by scientific evidence. Where can I get access to the scientific reports? Will be useful for my research. Much obliged.
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
I feel like this has been known for a while and now, 10 years later, we’ll address the problem.
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.
Watching in 2021 .....WOW.....from Pennsylvania
It’s effing believable that we are having to be dealing with superbugs and there is absolutely no proper way to treat these bugs !!!!!!
I'd pay 50% more if I knew my shrimp was safe
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.
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.
geeze i always over cook my shrimp. I can , however, eat them anyway. lol
After reading everyone response here and after watching market place report ... ask yourself the question ..... is shrimp really really really worth eatting ?
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%
What about if you soak with lemons or vinegars for certain time than removed and add sea salt into it . Bacteria can not live in oceans ? Did labs ever tested nature product before ?
As a vietnamese, i'm watching this with held breath.
Are they speaking about FARMED SHRIMP? CAUGHT WILD SHOULD NOT HAVE ANTIBIOTICS, SHOULD THEY?
Absolutely.
Might as well cook meats until they almost get burnt and cleaning the kitchen with bleach everytime I cook just to be safe >~>
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.
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.
Bacteriophages are the way forward. Plus Rife frequency therapy.
EAT CLEAN...
SAVE YOURSELF ..
There is a reason why GOD said not to eat certain food..
Gee u think THE CREATOR knows more then We do?!
Nothing is perfect..but better to avoid what one can
Lo Bell yup Leviticus says don’t eat shell fish
Kudos for not one ad.
So what does a dirty endoscope have to do with dirty shrimps?
I wish they would show the actual label/names of the products
choose from where your shrimp comes from. farm raised are mass-produced, lacking safe quality control.
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...
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.
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.
What about the countries Canada exports to & the safety of those countries citizens?
Carol Cusi Damn right
*So... how do you avoid these!! Stop eating* ??!
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.
@@NicholasLittlejohn 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.
@@NicholasLittlejohn 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
Marketplace, what foods are still safe to eat? Lol, seriously
My ❤ goes out to her.
Keep up Marketplace. You guys are doing great Job!
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.
Thank god I’m allergic to shrimp.
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 ...
Shrimps need sunshine, just like human beings do.
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
That last guy has it right. Our priorities are the problem. People complain they can't afford fresh food and yet they have the newest in electronics and cars.

Sad to find out that the Canadian Berezen Shrimp farm is closed in 2019 for high operation cost
Where can I buy Canadian farmed shrimp??? What Canadian stores sell them???
They are even more dangerous and this TV show did not do test on them .
You can get radiation contaminated shrimps in Vancouver
Its funny its illegal to sell home grown chickens/other animals or unpasteraized milk but its totally legal when big companies load the food with toxic preservatives and antibiotics is totally legal...
What brand is that Canadian shrimp so I can buy that instead.
Why not bother to cook it properly .... even Canadian shrimps not contain bacteria how do u know when u buy it from supermarket and place next to contain one 😂😂😂😂 are u thing the bacteria won’t move there when there’s label say Canadian shrimps 😂😂😂😂🤪... just wash it with beer and cook them well done in real fire not electric one 😂😂😂 u will be survive 🍻🍻🍻
Just great....more worries to the consumer but very nice to know than not to know. But what about other imported seafood...are superbugs lurking there as well???
But we cook them so how can superbug live after cooking
