Chronic seafood mislabelling in Canada happens throughout supply chain

"In a new study, U of G researchers found 32 per cent of fish were mislabelled and the number of incorrectly identified samples became compounded as the samples moved through the food system. 'We’ve been doing seafood fraud studies for a decade,' said Prof. Robert Hanner, study’s lead author. 'We know there are problems. But this is the first study to move beyond that and look at where the problems are happening throughout the food supply chain.' The findings reveal that mislabelling happens before fish are imported into Canada, as well as throughout the supply chain, Hanner added." - Excerpt from University of Guelph.
