Researchers have uncovered that salmon products in Washington are frequently mislabeled as wild when they are actually farmed.
This mislabeling is particularly costly for customers at sushi restaurants.
“We had no idea what the results would be when we started this project and we were very surprised with the results,” Delgado told. “Despite legislation in Washington state that makes mislabeling of salmon illegal, salmon mislabeling fraud is still a problem in Seattle.”Delgado and her students analyzed the DNA of salmon samples from 67 grocery stores and 52 sushi restaurants in Seattle between fall 2022 and fall 2023. They found that 18% of these samples were mislabeled.
The researchers suggest more needs to be done to combat seafood fraud, such as encouraging restaurants to periodically test their fish.has an inspection program for fishing boats, processing plants, and retailers, but participation is voluntary. Sushi customers can also take steps to reduce their chances of being defrauded.
