| Abstract: |
Ocean Hugger Foods, a vegan seafood company known for their tomato-based Ahimi tuna, made a surprising PSA on Instagram regarding sushi. According to a study published in 2017, nearly half of all sushi tested in Los Angeles sushi restaurants did not match the species listed on the menu. This goes way beyond imitation crab. Researches from UCLA and Loyola Marymount University surveyed 26 sushi restaurants in LA between 2012 and 2015, recording the DNA of each fish item offered. The study found that 47 percent of the fish was incorrectly labeled on the menu. |
