Nakhon Pathom:Suki Teenoi has issued an apology following the discovery of worm larvae in glass shrimp at their The Fourth branch in Phutthamonthon Sai 4, Nakhon Pathom province. The incident occurred on October 30, 2026, when a customer found translucent white worm larvae inside the shrimp.
According to Thai News Agency, the company expressed sincere apologies to all customers and assured that the matter is being taken seriously. All relevant departments were promptly notified to investigate the situation as quickly as possible.
The investigation team included two entomologists from Asia Pest Service Co., Ltd., the Quality Control and Assurance Department of Thai Union Public Company Limited, and Teenie's Quality Control Department. Their findings identified the larvae as belonging to the Sarcophagus fly, which hatch from eggs or are born directly in suitable conditions.
In response to the incident, Suki Teenoi announced several improvements to their preventative measures. They have installed an additional insect trap near the shop's back entrance, increasing the total to seven traps. These traps are supplied by Rentokil GmbH. Furthermore, procedures now include immediately refrigerating glass shrimp after plating and inspecting food for insects before serving.
The company's kitchen facilities were described as large, clean, and well-equipped with air conditioning. Additionally, food quality and hygiene inspections were recently conducted by three public health agencies in Nakhon Pathom, including the District Public Health Office, Krathum Lom Subdistrict Health Promotion Hospital, and Samphran Hospital.
