Recently, Qinhuangdao urgently reminded:
Do not fish, buy or eat in the near future
Sea rainbow and other shellfish
From April to June every year, there are a large number of single-cell algae containing toxins in the sea water, which are accumulated in the body after being eaten by sea rainbow and other shellfish. The toxicity and heat resistance of these toxins are good enough to be eliminated by cooking, and the risk of exceeding the limit of paralytic shellfish toxins in sea rainbow and other shellfish is high.
Recently, Qinhuangdao Municipal Oceanic and Fishery Bureau collected three samples of sea rainbow in the sea area of Shanhaiguan District to monitor paralytic shellfish toxins. All three samples exceeded the normal value, and the highest content of paralytic shellfish toxins in one sample exceeded the judgment limit by 4.68 times, posing a serious food safety risk. Paralytic shellfish toxin (PSP) can cause limb muscle paralysis, headache, nausea, salivation, fever, skin rash and other symptoms in human body, and even respiratory arrest in serious cases.
In order to ensure the food safety of the people and prevent food poisoning caused by the consumption of sea rainbow, the marine fishery department has comprehensively strengthened maritime patrol and supervision of fishing ports and wharves, and prohibited fishermen from collecting and fishing sea rainbow on shore; The market supervision department requires food operators to completely prohibit the sale of rainbow and the processing and production of rainbow products.
Special warning: the general public should not catch, buy or eat sea rainbow and bivalve shellfish with potential safety hazards from the origin in the near future. When eating other shellfish and seafood, you must remove the viscera and eat too much at one time. In case of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, muscle paralysis and other symptoms after eating sea rainbow and other shellfish and seafood, you must immediately rush to the hospital for treatment, and truthfully tell the doctor what food you have eaten, so as to obtain timely assistance.
