Something’s fishy: 1 in 5 seafood products are mislabeled, study finds

But it’s not just a Canadian problem, with similar rates of misidentification seen in the United States and globally. Researchers in Hawaii had similar findings to Calgary’s, with one in five products in a 2020 study found to be mislabeled.

Outrageous cheating & downright theft!

Outrageous cheating & downright theft!

And dangerous as some consumers ended up in the hospital

We in the states have also been seeing a lot of recalls of unsafe food with an awareness of problems at one meat production plant that had been ongoing. Where is the FDA? We are having too many recalls after people are harmed or dying.

Yes. We are seeing too much of that type of thing lately. For a while they were blaming it on the pandemic but I think we should be past blaming things on the pandemic by now.

There's something seriously fishy going on with this mess.
Even if some little shrimp reported a fake type of mix up for the halibut,
it might have been another one of those catfishing ploys, so I don't really give a carp.

This is nothing new, previous "studies" have come to
the same conclusion in years past.

I just sent this to my son and BFF. There are only a couple of kinds of fish my son will eat and salmon is one of them. That they can make another fish look pink like salmon is outrageous. Hopefully the taste will reveal the fraud. The point about pregnant women who should avoid high mercury content getting fish that could indeed contain too much mercury is a perfect example of why this practice is so egregious. I've always said the FDA (U.S.) does not have our backs, so who knows if the practice will be curtailed here.

Those Tilapia-type fish, including something called Swai are mysterious. I read once that people are not really sure what they are. Very tightly farmed in the Mekong Delta, or at least they were. I wouldn't touch them.

I read something about Tuna, Albacore is a very large fish and contain more mercury than Skipjack (wild) and used to cost more than Skipjack. Yesterday I saw Slipjack higher priced than Albacore.

Reminds me of a story teaser I saw about tilapia carrying herpes.

FDA stands for F*cked Up Dopes and A$$holes. They couldn't care less.
