When shopping for food you expect the ingredients to match the label, but that’s not always the case when it comes to seafood. According to researchers at the University of Guelph, 32 per cent of fish is mislabeled. Associate professor Bob Hanner says some common examples include farmed salmon sold as wild pacific salmon, tilapia swapped out for red snapper and basa replaced by cod. “ We’ve shown that there is a consistent problem where a species of lower economic value are being mislabeled and sold as a species at a higher value,” he says. |
