Large producer of canned fish claims mass counterfeiting of saury

The company calls itself the largest onshore fish cannery in the country in terms of production.

According to the group's manager, Alexander Efremov, now it is the main industrial producer that extracts saury itself.

Several months ago, Dobroflot noticed that there are a lot of canned saury on store shelves, and their products are not sold because of the higher price, Efremov said.

“Except for us, no one catches it, we check the customs statistics - no one brings saury to Russia.

There can be no raw materials, and the counters are full of saury.

We take tests and understand that it is fake, ”he said.

According to his version, unscrupulous producers replace raw materials with cheaper ones - herring, while they write on the label that it is saury and indicate compliance with GOST.

Earlier, Rosrybolovstvo denied media reports about a possible shortage and rise in price of Ivasi sardines.
