    Dear Mr Tanco,

     

    Thanks for your information about TEQUISA. I went on their web site but they do not give any information about the composition of the Melacide. But, it is absolutely necessary to know of this mix of chemicals does not content any prohibited product to be able to import processed shrimps with this Melacide in Europe. For example, this kind of product could content EDTA which is prohibited for such purpose. Melacide is well known from more than 15 years in Latin America nevertheless it is still not much used as metabisulfite substitute, why?

     

    Regards,
