Prawns injected with jelly allegedly sold

Prawns injected with jell are allegedly being sold at the Iao Hon market. According to several media reports, a customer has stated that she discovered jelly-like substances injected into the prawns and subsequently filed a complaint to the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM). The woman says that IACM mishandled the case, but a bureau representative told TDM that a series of inspections are being held at different markets. “We are carrying out a thorough investigation to see if we find similar prawns,” said Ung Sau Hong, a member of IACM’s Administrative Committee.
IACM’s president, Alex Vong, also commented on the case, promising to pay attention to it: “After we receive the relevant information, we will carry out an inspection, and we will study whether the food products were legally imported to Macau and check if they hold official receipts. We will also review how our frontline staff is handling the case.” Alex Vong also reminded consumers not to buy any food products that seem odd.
