Case Study: Seafood Fraud
33% of all seafood is mislabeled.
87% of all red snapper is mislabeled.
The Bottom Line:
Seafood fraud results in over a $25 billion cost to consumers. More than 60% of US seafood is imported, and less than 1% is inspected. Seafood fraud makes destructive fishing processes profitable, undercuts conservation efforts, and hurts both brands and consumers.
