Bangkok: "Supamas" has cited a recent incident involving misleading labeling on canned fish products and has ordered the Consumer Protection Board (CPB) to investigate factories nationwide. The directive comes after it was discovered that tilapia was being used instead of mackerel, as stated on the label.

According to Thai News Agency, Ms. Suphamas Isarabhakdi, Minister attached to the Prime Minister's Office, highlighted the case as an example of potential recurring issues in product labeling. Although the specific matter has been resolved, Ms. Suphamas has instructed the CPB in every province to scrutinize factory practices and review any related complaints to prevent future occurrences.

In addition, a similar issue has emerged in Nakhon Ratchasima province involving bottled water priced at an unusually low 2 baht per bottle. The public is advised to be cautious of products sold at exceptionally low prices and to report any discrepancies between product description and actual content to the CPB. Authorities stress that such practices are considered exploitative to consumers.
