Abstract: It’s 2019 and we’re all trying our best to eat as healthy as possible (new year, new you, right?). Of course, this involves shopping locally and buying fresh ingredients whenever we can, as well as ordering the healthiest options on the menu when we dine out. All of this involves a level of trust that we hold with the grocery stores where we buy our food, and the restaurants we visit on date night and beyond. But this trust is threatened when you discover that local produce is being mislabelled. Last year, research conducted by UBC revealed that a quarter of seafood sold in Metro Vancouver is mislabelled.
