In the United States, 90 percent of all shrimp eaten is imported. However, only a fraction of those imports is inspected for harmful additives. Overlooking an unsafe shipment can have serious health consequences. Many shrimp farms use antibiotics to keep their shrimp alive, and harmful residues can end up in the mouths of consumers. In this episode of Techknow, Shini Somara meets with US Food and Drug Administration inspectors at a port in southern California to learn more about how shrimp is federally tested. - Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe - Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish - Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera - Check our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/

That lip ring looks like an STD. She looks cheap and not classy. More like a stripper not someone that is using her brain for a living.
-
Ugh...Great report, but that lip ring is very distracting and not even remotely attractive. She'd be better on the radio.

oh Lord I can't. When cooked, it "can be" killed? oh dear I can't

Oh look people consuming animal products are responsible for the increased antibiotic reststance of germs worldide.
Same issue with pig/chicken/cow farming in the US, 80% of aantibiotics used in this country go to farm animals and you wonder how "superbgs' come about...
The solution is to stop eating these stuff, if you believe in global warming (as you probably should!), animal agriculture produces more greenhouse gases than all transportations combined, so it wold make sense to do so.
