Fishy Tales
Fish mislabeling and substitution is a hundred million dollar industry in the US alone. DNA testing can change these unscrupulous practices. It is easy to substitute most fish with a cheaper look-a-like because processed fish and seafood is difficult to identify even with an expert eye. All commercially sold fish and seafood can be quickly and accurately authenticated with a DNA test before it’s sold. Testing protects the consumer, public health and our natural resources. Gene ID Inc. provides fish identification services through its Fish ID by Gene ID program. Fish and seafood are easily identified with DNA tests. Copyright 2011
