Antibiotic-resistant bacteria found in imported shrimp
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
A new investigation by CBC News Marketplace found potentially harmful antibiotic-resistant bacteria in imported shrimp sold in various supermarkets in Canada
Investigative reporters purchased 51 packages of shrimp imported from Vietnam, Thailand, China, India and Ecuador
Investigators found 17 percent or 2 out of every 10 packages were contaminated with antibiotic resistant bacteria, also known as superbugs; of that 17 percent, 89 percent showed resistance to multiple antibiotics
Superbugs, one of the greatest threats to human health, may kill more people than cancer by 2050
The overuse of antibiotics in factory farm animals and the heavy spraying of pesticides on food crops is the No. 1 driver of deadly superbugs
