webfact Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 No worms will survive under high temperatures, top boss at Super C Chef says By The Nation Super C Chef cooks fish and seafood products in high temperatures of at least 118 degrees Celsius for 75 minutes, making it impossible for any micro-organisms to survive, the company’s president said. Poj Aramattananont, vice-chair of the Thai Chamber of Commerce and president of Sea Value Plc, which exports tuna and instant seafood under the Super C Chef brand, also added his company maintains GMP (good manufacturing practices) and HACCP (hazard analysis and critical control point) standards in the production process. Hence, he said, it was impossible for any of the Super C Chef cans to have worms as claimed by some customers. “The news that Super C Chef fish canned on March 6 contained worms, as shown in a video clip posted online, is wrong,” he said, adding that it is possible that someone was trying to sabotage the company or the consumer had left the can open for a long time and insects may have laid eggs in it.

Chelseafan Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Mr Aramattananont, you may well have GMP and HACCP but is your production facility actually following the guidelines and are your workers trained to understand processes and procedures? Although it's a possibility, you can't be so dismissive and blame sabotage - That's just arrogant. Edited June 2, 2020 by Chelseafan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe the factory did after the cooking process and before the lid was put on the can. Also I would dispute both the temperature and the cooking time. Both are excessive. 70 deg C for ten minutes is normally sufficient. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seajae Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) so they are using dodgy(old?) fish that have worms but they reckon its ok because they cook them, what about not using garbage, cheap, unhealthy fish in the first place, again we see profits being more important than healthy, clean food. Definitely wont be using any of their products, last thing I want is fish that is not fit for human consumption Edited June 3, 2020 by seajae 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burma Bill Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 For those of you who may know some German history (quote):- The Diet of Worms in 1521 was an imperial council that was convened to decide the fate of Martin Luther. It was held in Worms, Germany. The Holy Roman Emperor Charles V presided over the diet. ... The diet declared the Edict of Worms, which made Luther an outlaw and forbid anyone from helping him escape punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I would dispute both the temperature and the cooking time. Both are excessive. 70 deg C for ten minutes is normally sufficient. Filling & sealing is semi or fully continuous. Processing takes place after sealing because 118°C will require cooking under pressure. There may be cook preprocesses required though. 118°C seems weird though. The list of what ifs is long including what if the cooking water has insufficient chlorine. Forty years of canning in one paragraph. I'll stop bothering you now ????????

natway09 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Many types of fish (including Tuna) have worms in their stomach & in their flesh. Not sure with sardines or mackerel if they cook & can or can & cook. Anybody know ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lagavulin1 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 16 minutes ago, DrTuner said: Chlorine still works at 118 degrees? Honest question. Chlorine is after the cook proces. Its dosed into the water used to cool the canned food after the heating. Inside the can there is a drop of pressure as the cold water hits the cans. This can actually cause the can to momentarily suck in water. (Honest) If the cooling water is contaminated its possible that yeasts, moulds & bacteria can grow in the can. Worms? Dont thinks so but....... ???????????? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the product safety step and of course cooks the product as well. As an aside there may be other cook processes before this final one. For example if the fish is in tomato sauce that sauce is usually cooked first. Enjoy your canned fish. ???????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the can is sealed how can it 'suck' in water. That would mean it has a porous nature and that would mean the food would go bad anyway. Just asking.

lagavulin1 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 At cooling there are a number of instantaneous extreme pressure changes in the hot can. One is a state of vacuum which can suck in a few drops of water. The next change boils the content, resealing the can. Only if there are viable bacteria will there be spoilage. Normally the contents go sour. Of course there are checks and these occurances are rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickudon Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I worked as a quality controller in a cannery many years ago, and confirm Lagavulin is correct. Cooking temperature varies with product (tinned fruit requires less). If there is any gross deviance from the rules, then cans will blow due to bacteria or other micro-organisms, long before getting to the customer.
