Whistle blowers should be awarded . This world is backwards.
some whistle blowers are liars and trying to get attention
they are, usually they receive a % of any financial penalties.. it can take years though
Absolutely!❤
Yet, Americans are too squimish to file complaints for violations of their civil rights in preference of illegal immigrants. 🤕🤡
Also, people who comment on KZhead without having a clue what they're talking about should have their account permanently muted, but this world is backwards. 🤷🏻♀️ As someone already said, whistleblowers can win a lot of money in court in the US - millions of dollars even. That's to _encourage_ people to be whistleblowers. The US government recognizes that whistleblowers both help expose corruption and also just the fact that whistleblowers exist helps to prevent a certain amount of corruption.
His employer paid him $300k per year and now says he can't be trusted because of his criminal record. What a joke
That's not even a lot. Especially to relocate to stinky India
obviously can't be trusted to turn on his employer, especially it is well known that all food coming into the country has their processing plants and food inspected daily, they have to meet the same standards as there are in the country
They hired him because of his record. Former criminals are more likely to not be ethical and look the other way for fear of leverage of being exposed.
@@KibbitUpIt Nah... Much more simple than that... You're a Recorded Criminal.. Who's going to Believe you? AND, if they do.. I can show them your Record and ask, "Who are you going to believe??" THEN, Let it be on THEM, to be "responsible" for believing the Criminal.
It's something a Democrat would say to cover their bs 😂😂
They hired him knowing he had a criminal history so they could discredit him. They've been using this strategy for years!
No wonder Trump was fired 25 years ago.
His criminal history is probably what got him hired
The fact that this man turned his life around, got a job many of us could only imagine having, and risked it all just to protect us consumers... absolute legend, but sadly it seems like this world only punishes those with integrity.
And now they are using his past to smear him and discredit him. I hope that he finds a job where he is valued and not just as a pawn to break the law.
Yep
First we need to clean our arsenal in USA and UK before 👉 POINTING the rest of the world
You got it
They were quick to bring up his past criminal record but this company had no problem handing him all that responsibility and 300k a year.
with all that history he is still a far better man than billionaires
I think it's very likely that this man knew that if they were to be caught that he would be held liable as well. Making that kind of money I'm assuming he was expected to be in on it and keep his mouth shut
he won't work again and he knows it so had to try to get some attention
@@mikalmos369 exactly. instead of getting caught and going to jail, he decided to speak up
Never buy anything from India, their practices & level of QA on any product might work for locals but not for most countries.
Things aren’t naturally cheap… if something is cheap, it means someone else is paying for it.
I bought Walmart shrimp a few months ago for a seafood stew and the shrimp had a foul smell. I had to throw out the entire stew. I tasted it and it was rancid which did not make sense because I got it frozen. It definitely makes sense now why it was so cheap at Walmart and I will never buy seafood from Walmart ever again. I will stick to Costco even if it's a little pricier.
I dont know what the conversation exclaimed , their is a law to everything , so you will start complaining about every possible law ?
@@silentstormstudio4782yes
Yep
Walmart sells foods that is lethal for human consumption@@Sulfen
This man deserves a medal, and a good job. Am surprised his salary was this high though, 300k in the shrimp business, like really? Maybe his real job was bringing credibility to the company, to show US standards are being followed here in India by American professionals. Anyway, glad he didn't keep his mouth shut despite being paid so much.
Hush money
Walmart, America's Largest Employer, is accepting poorly sourced products is not a shock.
It is not much different in the USA. Do you remember the Boeing Case? Boeing USA got the whistleblower murdered and the FBI and Cops did not do anything His family are looking for answers; I hope India is better than the USA in handling Whistleblower cases. The US must do more to protect its whistle-blowers. The US government never goes against Boeing (and a few other large corporations). Boeing is selling defective planes - doors flying in mid-air, AND the US government is busy protecting corrupt Boeing. No wonder the US is called the KING OF HIPPOCRACY.
Sir, Idk how things happen in usa. Butindia is poor and we need this business. Last year only we started shrimp farming. I know their are problems. But our shrimps are freshest. We use only river water for it. Antibiotics used are human antibiotics NOT veterinary grade but actual human antibiotics. We feed cooked chicken/beef/fish/swine and processed(steam sterilized) domestic grade wastes only. Problem is water is polluted and if we use underground water it is costly as it consumes diesel fuel oil. Government doesn't help us. We would like to use ground water for shrimp as river water has lots of sewage. But you shouldn't worry as growing times are short in india, we use scientific hormones and scientific human grade antibiotics only. Infact our product doesn't absorb arsenic and Mercury like Vietnamese shrimp . We had it tested and govt lab says it's free of Hg/As/Pb . We are very thankful to big buyers like Walmart to come buy from us. Our quality of life is low so don't expect same standards for workers. How we provide air condion and cooling when we dont have any electricity connection itself? We have to bring small amount of ice from factory in town to cool down product and even then the buyers reject half our produce as spoiled. Sir please don't shame big companies, we are still improving if government gives us help we will be like you also.

I used to be a chemist with the FDA. The FDA has the capability to test these shrimp but the management of the labs is so dysfunctional that there are instruments and chemists idle while the country imports contaminated products.
The Federal Drug Administration has a food department?

I eat shrimp at least 2 times a week I love seafood ever since I was a kid. Now I always buy my shrimp from a small business which always provides fresh seafood. One day my wife made food for her family at their house and they bought shrimp from Walmart to make shrimp tacos. As soon finished eating I bust into hives on my hands and arms! The ER told me it was an allergic reaction to the shrimp.. Never bought shrimp from Walmart or any major supermarket since then and never had another reaction
You’re eating insects
Why can't you Stop eating ?
SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED TO ME. It caused anaphylaxis. Now I don't any farm raised shrimp only caught in the wild. Chinese restaurants shrimp is the worse

As a Alaskan Commercial Fisherman please buy American wild caught seafood. Shrimp, Salmon, anything its better for you and better for the country ;)
Absolutely! I always check if it's from Alaska. Most of it comes from China, India and Vietnam and I just toss it right back.
Trust me, I do ❤
I hope I can find American seafood, but it might be a hard thing for most Americans to find. I won't be buying shrimp from India again though! The goal should be to buy as much American food as possible, and it should not be as hard to do as it is. God bless and keep fishing!
It's so hard to find local seafood and seems to cost more. I do not buy foreign seafood though, so I don't buy any if I can't buy American
Stop turning food production into garbage, and you might start getting returns from others and better health.
that 300k was fall guy money. the criminal record was incase a leak happens they have something against them.
🎯💯
Yeah, he was the scapegoat. I'm sure even the scapegoat doesn't care. He cashed that check. We need to take over the FDA like We taking over school boards.

That’s not how things work. The company would still be liable because they would have hired someone with a criminal record. Therefor they take on the liability.
This should be in all news channels worldwide

Done buying shrimp at Walmart
better not buy it at any other store either
But you will purchase from Amazon.

This is a pull problem.

It is the iPhone production story all over again,

@@grandmaLilith India killed someone in Canada for supporting an independent movement in India.

this is why people need to get involved in food production. they need to ask where their food is coming from.
If the government agencies actually did their job (you know the job that they’re being paid big bucks to do) then we wouldn’t have this problem. It’s their job to do the inspections and make sure that the food sold here in this country is safe and sourced ethically. The population who work tirelessly to pay their bills and pay taxes should not bare that burden, especially again when there are entire agencies whose jobs is to do this.
do you eat meat? if you knew you wouldnt.but you dont care as most people when you try to take their bacon or steak..they act like they are not part of the issue when you are.

No one is a saint and for that reason I believe him more than a corporation that their bottom line is profits. Choice Canning must be taken to court
Hello I am from where these shrimps are grown. I feel like this video needs the perspective of Indian farmers involved in this to be more balanced. What this video did not mention is that a couple years ago shrimp infections became big problem and so farmers started using antibiotics to protect their livelihood. The government is conducting research into reducing disease load among aquaculture regions. China buys more Indian shrimp than USA, and perhaps there these antibiotics are not banned. Most farmers also target to sell to Chinese market too. So there may be a shortage of antibiotic-free shrimp. Basically choice canning may have no choice but to buy shrimp with these antibiotics, if farmers have no choice but to use them.
Stories like this give me some hope for humanity. There are still people that exist with integrity who won't compromise.
Wow, 300k job for shrimp inspection. The owners paid him high to just sign the papers and nothing else.

Funny how his criminal record wasn’t a problem when they hired him, but now it is when he called them out on their own crimes.

It's the job of American employer to keep regular checks/audit and deny antibiotics shrimp. If the indian suppliers doesn't comply, go to other supplier. If American employer just looking for big gains due to cheap labour, then it falls on him. I bet if American employer does keep one supervisor here and ask for protective gears only allowed then indian supplier will say there will be added cost which American employer needs to accept. The fact that auditor was being given 300k simply says, it all happened with the approval of American employer. Infact he said, send it. Fun fact - most of the American medicine imported from India. And strictly made as per guidelines from FDA. So, if india can do this, it sure can provide requested food production and packing standards provided the American employer asks for it and keeps checks. After all, we all want safe food for our families.
I'm from Louisiana. Gulf shrimp are the best and lots of families need the money that comes from the shrimp industry.
Thought we were having issues with our shrimp here in the Gulf
@@MsLhuntMartinez79 Please be more specific ! Issues ?
@@AmericanTeacher-USApopulations have really declined due to “dead zones” caused by discharge from Mississippi River. All the nutrients from fertilizers and other chemicals enter the river and empty into the gulf. These leads to excessive algal blooms. As the bloom decompose the bacteria that breaks it down uses up oxygen, leading to “dead zones” that fish and shrimp can’t live due to lack of oxygen
@AmericanTeacher-USA Overfishing, temperature rising caused lower shrimp spawning, bacterial growth (from fecal), red tides, and the like. Not sure if those are still issues here in the Gulf or not.
Gulf shrimps are the worst

It's less about the country of origin and more about the corrupt companies in your own country that are engaging in malpractice for profit. Blame them.

As indian, I would say it's good for India, because the prices can go down. So any one can buy reasonable price. The price of the shrimp in our Indian market is very high, can't afford so many people. Also, i hope the regulations will be tight and the shrimp must be healthy for Indians.
