NY-AG v. Supermarkets

Supermarkets allegedly engaged in seafood fraud and mislabeling. According to NY-AG, more than one in four samples purchased were not sold under a federally-recognized market name for that species. Certain popular species were mislabeled – including “wild” salmon, red snapper, and lemon sole. The substitutes were often cheaper, less desirable, and less environmentally sustainable species.
