The picture alone tells me "do not eat" yikes.

There seems to be confusion in the comments over facts cleared up in the body text.

The error was mislabeling, which is the most common error in food production. They made perfectly uncontaminated Prawn and Lobster Lasagna and then put the wrong label on it. It should have been caught by quality control at the factory but mistakes happen.

Just earlier this week we had to pull a couple cases of Italian Sausage at work because they were accidentally labeled with a sell by of "Mar 15" instead of "May 15".

Does it contains seahorse this time?

Well in their defence cows and fish are often found in close proximity. Given that they're both aquatic animals. It's an easy mistake they could have made.

if this is part of an effort to get beef recognised as a type of fish by the Catholic church, keep it up, this'll probably work.

Can it still be called contamination if a seafood lasagne was mispackaged as a beef lasagna, or vice versa?

[–] essell@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, beef in a seafood lasagna (is that a thing) would be a contamination

Did you read the article?

I read it as the seafood lasagna was put into a beef lasagna box, rather than the beef lasagna having prawns in it.
