Recently, the Tianjin Inspection and Quarantine Bureau Xingang Office found that the container temperature control system was not working properly when the imported frozen king crabs were inspected. The goods were thawed, and the site was smashed with strong odor. It was already badly spoiled and its packaging carton was completely The wet deformation collapses. The inspection and quarantine personnel on the spot determined that the goods were unqualified, and then sealed the container, notified the importer at the first time, and supervised and destroyed the treatment according to law.

It is understood that the batch of frozen king crabs came from Chile and weighed about 9 tons, with a value of about 160,000 US dollars. According to the relevant requirements of frozen aquatic products, the storage temperature of imported frozen aquatic products is minus 18 degrees Celsius. Increased temperature can affect the quality of aquatic products, causing microbial growth and even deterioration. After checking the container refrigeration device and checking the temperature monitoring data, it is determined that the container refrigeration device has failed during the shipping process, resulting in the temperature inside the container not reaching the storage temperature, which eventually causes the goods to spoil and deteriorate.

In order to ensure the quality and safety of imported aquatic products and safeguard the rights and interests of consumers, Tianjin Inspection and Quarantine Bureau not only strictly carries out cold chain inspection on imported frozen aquatic products, but also requires importers to strictly fulfill the main responsibility of food safety and prevent unqualified imported food from flowing into the domestic market.
