    The point of the article seems to be calling for closer inspection of fish, and training inspectors to recognize the parasites, because the parasitic larvae can cause allergic reactions in human consumers. Allergens can remain in the meat after freezing and cooking.

    Concerns regarding food allergies resulting from Anisakis sp. ingestion are prominent in the scientific community, leading to numerous publications on the topic. Although Anisakis simplex larvae are inactivated by heating above 60°C for at least 10 minutes or freezing at -20°C for 24 hours, some allergens are resistant to both cooking and freezing (Bahna, 2016). This resistance to thermal treatment was addressed by Caballero and Moneo (2004), who studied patients exhibiting reactions and symptoms after ingesting cooked or canned fish. Vidaček et al. (2009) and Audicana et al. (2002) also reported the resistance of Anisakis allergens to heat and freezing in their studies, noting that even inactivated larvae can be hazardous.

    Literature reports suggest that cooking and/or freezing seafood may not be sufficient to prevent hypersensitivity reactions to Anisakis sp. Thermostable allergens have been detected in Anisakis simplex extracts, raising questions about the safety of consuming these parasites in cooked fish (Caballero and Moneo, 2004; Fæste et al., 2014; Moneret-Vautrin et al., 2005; Nieuwenhuizen and Lopata, 2009). As with other food allergens, small quantities can induce an allergic reaction in sensitized individuals. The presence of Anisakis proteins in fish and fish products poses a potential health risk for consumers allergic to this parasite; cross-reactive allergies are possible, for example, to dust mites or crustaceans (Aibinu et al., 2019).

    Consuming live larvae can cause illness:

    The nematode can penetrate the human intestinal wall, causing an acute, transient infection characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, and/or diarrhea

    They’re making money from the local bottlers and other parts of the supply chain. Kind of like how Coke in the US is made locally by local bottlers.

    Their presence is still massive.

    From https://leave-russia.org/pepsico

    …the B4Ukraine Coalition reported on Jan. 10, 2024. PEPSICO HOLDINGS LLC currently have 21 branches in different regions of Russia and 1 representative office in Belarus. They also have 80 brands registered in Rospatent, most of which were extended recently till 2033.

    Not only that, they have been expanding, even in the middle of the war, with plans for even more facilities:

    In 2024, the American company PepsiCo started the operation of the first phase of the factory of snacks and salty snacks in Russia, near Novosibirsk.

    Despite the war, the company has been operating in Russia for over 60 years, and opened a new plant with a production capacity of 60,000 tons per year. The American company PepsiCo wants to register the Rockstar trademark in Russia for the sale of beverages. The application was submitted to the agency on April 30, 2025 and PepsiCo is listed as the applicant.
