False labeling of "squid rings" uncovered: Possible deception

When examining products labeled as "squid rings", it turned out that around 75% of the labels were correct. However, products were discovered that were mislabeled due to added water, water-binding additives, or being composed of squid pieces. These could mislead consumers as they do not correspond to the general traffic perception.
