Suki Teenoi Addresses Larva Discovery in Shrimp

Following a report from Khaosod Online, the popular Thai restaurant chain Suki Teenoi has publicly addressed an incident where a customer found a larva in a shrimp dish at their The Fourth Phutthamonthon Sai 4 branch in Nakhon Pathom on October 30, 2026. The company issued a formal apology and launched an immediate investigation involving entomologists from Asia Pest Service Co., Ltd., as well as quality assurance teams from Thai Union and the restaurant chain itself. The investigation identified the organism as a larva of the flesh fly (Family Sarcophagidae). Experts noted that these flies are attracted to strong odors and specific temperatures, and they are capable of depositing live larvae directly onto food sources. In response to the findings, Suki Teenoi has committed to enhancing its pest control measures, including the installation of additional insect traps near the rear entrance of the affected branch. For residents and travelers, this incident highlights the importance of food safety standards in high-volume dining establishments. While the company has taken corrective action, customers may wish to remain observant of food quality when dining out. Further details regarding long-term preventative protocols across other branches remain to be fully disclosed by the management.
