Worshipping my cup of oolong tea and continuing this book today. I just read that the FDA allows this prawn-like fish that is 100% not lobster to be marketed as lobster so if you aren't eating a whole lobster, there's a fair chance your lobster-based dish isn't actually lobster. But this prawn-like fish is frequently switched out with crawfish, so not only are you not eating lobster, you're not even eating the prawn!! 😲😷🤔 #shadyshit
moranadatter Scary is what that is. 8y
queerbookreader @kmdartist "...FDA considers detecting violations like these [seafood fraud] a low priority and devotes minimal resources to such work, according to published program guidance and senior FDA officials...NO RESOURCES HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED FOR SEAFOOD FRAUD-RELATED WORK." Zip. 8y
moranadatter @lemonlime799 Yikes! I don't eat shellfish, but it scares me because I wonder which other foods have standards this lax. This might be a good book for October. 8y
queerbookreader @kmdartist I'll list the foods that are covered in this book in my review, but there have to be more foods than just these that he investigated that have such lax regulations. Ew. 8y
