| Abstract: | Canada has a seafood problem. Exceptional fish and shellfish are a source of culinary pride, but whether you’re paying a premium for sockeye salmon or Atlantic cod, there’s no guarantee these are the species you’re actually eating. As a new study from the University of Guelph reveals, not only is seafood mislabelling rampant — undermining consumer choice, threatening vulnerable species and presenting a potential food safety issue — it takes place at every step in the supply chain. |
