Beware: Formalin-Treated Fish Flooding Markets! Learn 6 Easy Tips to Spot Fresh Fish

• A dangerous chemical, Formalin, is being used to make spoiled fish appear fresh in markets.
• Studies show Formalin-treated fish lose natural smell and have unnaturally firm muscles.
• Long-term consumption of such adulterated food can lead to gastrointestinal problems and increased cancer risk.
• Check fish eyes (shiny, clear for fresh), scales (reddish for fresh), and smell (natural, not strong or absent).
• Fresh fish have firm muscles and shiny, slippery skin; spoiled fish have soft muscles and dull skin.
