Why is Food Fraud Pervasive? Follow the Money.
NPR recently reported that a sushi chain owner in Japan paid $1.76 million for just one (489 pound) bluefin Tuna. Per pound, that is more than the price of “the very best connoisseur cannabis” in California. With such strong economic motivation and weak criminal penalties, is it any wonder that 39 percent of fish sold in the U.S. is mislabeled?
