$SHMP: NEWS--NaturalShrimp Are Grown Without the Use of Antibiotics or Other Toxic Chemicals; Shrimp from Overseas Causing Concern over Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
Press Release | 05/01/2019
DALLAS, TX, May 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- NaturalShrimp, Inc. (SHMP) produces shrimp in an enclosed, recirculating salt water system without the use of antibiotics or other toxic chemicals. Why is this so important?
In March 2019, an investigation in Canada found that grocery stores there were selling imported shrimp containing antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The bacteria found, including E.coli and staphylococcus aureus, are resistant to traditional antibiotics. The overuse of antibiotics has turned what once was a hypothetical menace into a real one.
A study by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found that one-quarter of imported, farm-raised shrimp contained residues of unapproved drugs and unsafe food additives. Consumer Reports found bacteria and illegal antibiotic residues on more than half the raw samples tested, some linked to cancer.
Much of the world’s shrimp are grown in crowded, shallow ponds in India, Thailand, China and Vietnam. “The world’s shrimp are grown in cesspools,” says a famous chef. Bacteria and algae grow, disease can set in, and farmers use drugs and chemicals to stop the disease. A professor of infectious diseases put it this way: “People eating their shrimp cocktail may be getting more than they bargained for.”
More than 700,000 people die each year worldwide due to these “super” bacteria. Says one medical expert: “Multidrug resistance is the biggest threat to modern medicine.” One prediction is that these deaths will soar in the future with more people dying from superbugs than from cancer.
NaturalShrimp (www.naturalshrimp.com) produces shrimp economically in an indoor, all-natural environment, without the use of drugs of any kind, that can be replicated anywhere in the world. Our patented technology ensures that harmful organisms cannot harm or destroy the shrimp. Shrimp is the single most consumed seafood in the world, with nine billion pounds eaten annually.
“We have developed a safe way to grow shrimp that solves the concern with antibiotics-and other drug resistant bacteria. We believe our system will create a disruptive revolution in the growing and harvesting of the world’s most popular seafood,” said Bill G. Williams, Chairman and CEO of NaturalShrimp.
