| Abstract: |
You may love a well-prepared plate of fresh fish, but a new study says consumers are falling hook, line and sinker for fraudulent seafood. The environmental advocacy group Oceana performed DNA testing on 449 fish samples from 277 stores and restaurants across the country. It found that nationwide, 21 percent of seafood was labeled incorrectly. In Southern California, 23 percent of samples were mislabeled. " Oceana found one-third of the establishments we visited sold mislabeled seafood," said Dr. Kimberly Warner, who authored the Oceana study. |
