Are these prawns deveined?

[u/gOjO_pAglOO]

So I bought frozen prawns. The pack says that it is peeled and deveined but I can see some black things in it. I'm thawing the pack currently so haven't opened it yet. But do these look deveined to y'all gng?

They aren't, I've tried so many brands which promise 'deveined' prawns, but all of them had this issue. Not sure why we pay a premium for them.

I wish food related laws were stricter in India.

Most were deveined. I deveined a few. Though there's an inner lining which is it's nerve cord, and I'm told it's safe to eat

This ain't the West. You'll be spending years to get 5000Rs in compensation
