An American whistleblower, who managed a shrimp processing plant in India, filed a complaint against the factory with U.S. regulators. The complaint was over alleged labor abuse, and alleged the company was underpaying workers and selling shrimp tainted with antibiotics banned by the FDA.

Respect ✊
Yuk. Here- Buying “locally sourced” means eating DuPont chemicals. It’s sad, but I don’t think we should be led to believe that eating fish is healthy.
India is the next China ..avoid any food produce from that location at all cost
👎
Wow😂
Sad to say but these conditions are in every factory in India
Most of India’s jobs are like this….they even use children and lock them in hot places and make them work. The children’s parents sell their children to these labor people.
🤮
I thought fda only allowed antibiotics in milk, meat and now I understand it’s in ship as well!
See this is journalism
Fake News
Please stop Fake News
This explains so much about how they get their prices so low… meanwhile they run the competition to the ground and will make more money while the US keeps eating the indian bs.
God Bless! Sad and pathetic! Slave Labor! If Wal-Mart etc. is buying this or stands for slave labor, shame on them!
The US is trying to prop up India so have to look the other way at them poisoning American consumers
Choice is mallu(Kerala)guy company ….he must be brought into the USA court and put him in jail…Because Kerala government will not take any action against him also the Teleganan government …
They need to work, and stop being lazy bums!
(that way, I can kick back a little and work on my tan.) 💯
You capitalist America…..your organization community for hate ….preach across the globe on how Hindus are so bad n how to eradicate Hinduism….so there is hinduphobia in west n America….you undermine the human rights of atleat 150 crocres people on this earth ..your America built on sweat and genuine minds of indians n you want to eradicate hindus.
. What about human rights of hindus??
The company should pay him his yearly salary even though they fired him
It’s better to farm urself and eat
that’s scary
All of this but you regulate domestic fisherman to the point they cant make a living.
Why would anybody be surprised by this? This is as surprising as say there is no democracy in China. Most of the Asian countries have zero labor laws (well America is not that great either it’s just that here immoral stuff is legalized)
Indian is just our own version of china sadly
People shouldn’t be eating shrimp to begin with. It is a nasty bottom feeder like pork is.
CAPITALISM, LOL
ITS BEST
i hope you get a ob at the inspection board.
they drive ferraries and slave people , lol
if you take the benifits then you take the faults too.
FDA checks 1% of 🦐 imports?! Bless legit whistleblowers! Due all protections & financial aid for vast harm they prevent while sacrificing their livelihood! An old record: non-factor. 🤬
Don’t eat farmed shrimp or salmon
Walmart, America’s Largest Employer, is accepting poorly sourced products is not a shock.
I’m not eating shrimp ever again!!
I’m not eating shrimps anymore. I don’t trust them. They probably already spit on the shrimps.
😢😮 unacceptable
Restraint that hair..
Just don’t import shrimp at all
American ban on Shrimp exports from India will be of help to Indian environment.Because of shrimp farming ecology in Indian villages is already destroyed.Atleast we can look at other crops which are better for environment.Truth is Americans need shrimp and they can’t produce themselves cheaper,So developing countries take the beating on there environment.
That’s why you shouldn’t eat anything from the ocean
If we had some whistleblowers during Covid19 in China,millions of people wouldn’t have died,by the way these whistleblowers can make these documentaries is democracies
India nasty af
Its not up to US grocers.. ….its up to up as consumers:
Read the labels on the reverse side of the package. ….
Imported, LTD or LLC (processed) are likely fish farm sourced
Look specifically for wild caught.
God bless him!
This is so frustrating!!!
Poor regulators in US yet again. 😑😑
here is an idea why doesn’t USA completely stop doing trade with INDIA , CHINA, RUSSIA, and all authoritarian countries like SAUDI ARABIA, UAE, many countries in Africa etc.
Let us not forget Argentina, Brazil and other south American countries are also not very fond of shipping their natural resources to USA either.
They will still be investigating 10 years later
NBC -👎
That’s what how the company to get millions 😁
👂 this why eat only USA 🇺🇸 food 🥘 foreign food are not monitored ✅
Indian culture is so different from the rest of the world. Not going to keep negative but i would bever go there.
We shouldnt eat shrimp anyways
This is not a surprise at all.
I worked for a US seafood company as an industrial mechanic that has done things during food processing I think would be considered criminal and that the FDA would be appalled by. This company has also done things regarding dumping of waist water that I believe the DEP( Department of environmental protection) would find illegal.
Balance the diet.
People have to work.
People have to eat.
Corporate greed is a worldwide problem. As long as these unscrupulous business charlatans think they can squeeze out a buck more per “unit” they sell, despite increasing the risk to the end consumers, they will do it. 🙄😔
I don’t buy anything from incredible India
Trump wants to give Alaska to the Russians, this is the end of America
6 pounds of shrimp a year?
Dont have to look at other countries, US companies take advantage of uneducated, undocumented worker as well.
I don’t buy anything from India!!
Slavery
Vietnam black tiger shrimp is the best ive had
If the company need to make changes they need to stop and do it. Do it for the wellbeing of the employees, the owner the customers and the consumers the ones who harvest the 🍤 and for the 🍤 as well. They need to employ a good quality manager.
I won’t trust China or India
Wow 300k ?
No more shrimp for me, for a while at least. Somehow my liking of shrimp has decreased with time anyway.
Just stop buying from Walmart and foreign seafoods go buy the local grocery stores and local product
FDA, PHARMA and politicians are our enemy
Honestly speaking the accomodation for workers doesnt look bad.. even on floor they use matresses as i saw in another video..looks more of an propoganda by west to hamper indian industries. But still truth has to be found and lapses have to be fixed
US will not act on this ! Because only China has forced labor & India is just an exception case involving ‘unintentional over-capacity labor utilization arrangement’ which is understandable!
Ban these BJP RSS terrorist products and exports in the United States.
1:26 them bottom teeth 🦷
😱😩😩😩😰😭😭😭😭😭😭
Whistle blower need to blow his whistle in his own country about Indian students deaths in USA
most of its just outright false
So what we are gonna pay them and raise prices no thanks! 👎👎
Noticed the keyword they used here was migrant… Bringing migrants into any country means the ability to abuse that populous becomes a factor greater than you even comprehend…
It really doesn’t matter what country you live in when you bring people from another country the ability to dehumanize those people goes up a magnitude, and it also destroys the very country that you bring them to.
This is completely a illogical whistleblowing.
You mean like what America is doing with the invasion of illegal immigrants? Low wages, no benefits, long hours.
That’s why Maldives, Bangladesh, Sri lank, Nepal and Pakistan did boycott the indian products as healthy and humanitarian issues.
You should be worried about the medical equipment going into your bodies during medical procedures as well. My husband just quit working at a machine shop that switched to machining medical equipment. They took the work and employees from another company to start up. The bigger problem is that the person in charge of programming the machines doesn’t know what he is doing. They are supposed to show proof of workability to the state that shows that everything is within tolerance. The guys program is out of wack and he sits and sifts through cherry picks the screws that are within tolerance to give for proof and then sends all of the screws that are going into your body that are not in tolerance to the hospitals. He eats food on the shop floor, too. You have food crumbs all over those screws going into your body. Then people wonder why they get infections from the hardware that went into their body. Thank the crappy machine shops and the owners who care more about their bottom line than they do your safety!!
My husband worked at that machine shop for 24 years. He dealt with a lot of crap. The bad medical practice these people showed and the lack of care from the owner when he was told what was going on was the final straw.
Furious!!! We NEED More Whistle blowers!!! This is horrific that the company knowingly knew the product was tainted and shipping to USA consumers!!! No Farmed/GMO Seafood!!!! FOOD PERIOD!!!
Solution. Hire robots
Us poor people’s just modern day slaves😂😂 even in America 😂😂😂
Esau your blessings r over and the curse’s have switched from us to u.
I don’t EAT SHRIMPS IN GROCERY,I LOVE TO HAVE LOUISIANA SHRIMPS NATURAL..😊😊😊
And she is speaking such a good English what crap. And if all countries pay good labor rates then USA cannot afford shrimps
This is fckd up!!! Stop exploiting human beings!!!
Lord, slave labor for shrimp. I need to start seeking out American sourced seafood and spending more.
Laws that protect workers in India are nowhere as good as Western countries.
Indians will do anything
Zionist Jews have to push Indians to support their war
Indians will support only criminal
The Indian girl at UPS is sooo mean.
Disgusting.

What a jobless employee will do make others unemployed
India is Corrupted country in the world
Can’t trust big business, can’t trust food, water, air. Can’t trust government. Entire world is a LIE
