23 Sept 04:14 Key points summarised by AI

Thai FDA mandated a recall of all canned fish products from a company after a consumer reported mislabeled mackerel, finding different fish inside.
Investigations confirmed the mislabeling and revealed the company failed Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, with 12,760 cans seized at the production site.
The FDA emphasized that substituting fish, even if safe, while labeling it as mackerel constitutes consumer deception, violating the Food Act B.E. 2522 (1979) and incurring severe penalties.
The issue surfaced via a viral social media post, prompting the manufacturer to compensate the user and initiate a recall, claiming the fish was tilapia.
