More than 60 per cent of seafood products tested at Montreal grocery stores and restaurants were mislabelled, according to an update of a study that tracks rates of fish food fraud in Canada.
"The numbers reflect that this is an ongoing problem," said Sayara Thurston, a seafood fraud campaigner with Oceana Canada, which conducted the investigation.
In July 2019, the organization tested 90 samples from 50 locations in Montreal and found that 61 per cent of seafood wasn't as advertised.
