I would not chance it bro. If someone is going to go through the trouble to do that, there is no telling what is inside the can. I would pitch it and only buy from reputable sellers. There are several here JEBO, Chris at aquatic central, and peter le that I know of.

well if you bought it at LFS, print the website and bring it in and show them. They may not know themselves and any respecting LFS will give you a refund/store credit for your purchase.

Can you tell us how you ID'd the food as fake? Im not doubting your claim, I just want the rest of us to know what to look for. This is great info!

Hope it all works out well for you, Were all interested in finding out more about this im sure

You guys definitely have to be careful and be sure to scan the containers carefully. Who knows whats in those containers, don't take the risk!
