The matter quickly attracted widespread attention.
The reporter entered the "Weiku Seafood" Suzhou warehouse and found that the company sold the stinking black tiger shrimp in the near period after changing the box, and re-labeled the expired Russian sweet shrimp for sale.
By comparing the information on the packaging box, the reporter found the reason for the box change operation, the black tiger shrimp of the "Haida Seafood" brand is Malaysia, and there are about 6 months left before expiration; while the black tiger shrimp of the "Weiku" brand is produced in Vietnam, with a production date of April 28, 2021 and a shelf life of 24 months.
After changing the packaging, the shelf life of Malaysian shrimp was extended by about a year, and the replaced Vietnamese black tiger shrimp had deteriorated due to improper preservation.

In response to media exposure, on October 20, the staff of the Market Supervision Bureau of Xiangcheng District of Suzhou City responded that the parties were suspected of tampering with the production date and released to the outside world, and had initially grasped some evidence, and had sealed relevant illegal products, filed a case investigation against the parties, and launched a large-scale investigation of cold chain food-related business enterprises in the whole region.
The Modern Express reporter saw at the scene on the same day that the staff of the Suzhou Xiangcheng District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau was investigating and disposing of the scene, and the "same" black tiger shrimp in the box exposure video was moved out of the cold storage.
The reporter casually picked up a box of black tiger shrimp that was seized and opened, and the product emitted an abnormal sour smell. Hundreds of square meters of cold storage stores a large amount of seafood. In addition to the black tiger shrimp and sweet shrimp involved, there are also "flavor library seafood" products such as pike crab and shrimp, and the number of black tiger shrimp products alone is more than 100 boxes.
The person in charge of the warehouse here of "Weiku Seafood" did not make much excuse in the face of law enforcement personnel, but said that there are still legal products in the warehouse, and he is willing to cooperate with the investigation.
Zhang Xu, captain of the law enforcement brigade of the Suzhou Xiangcheng District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau, told reporters that the registered address of "Weiku Seafood" is located in Beijing, which is a cold chain warehouse and processing place, and the location is hidden, located in the deepest part of the logistics park.
