]]> Comment on Where do I purchase seafood in Southern California? by Mel http://seafoodforthefuture.org/2011/08/where-do-i-purchase-seafood-in-southern-california/comment-page-1/#comment-4524 Mel Thu, 25 Aug 2011 18:25:58 +0000 http://seafoodforthefuture.org/?p=3762#comment-4524 Amy, Thank you kindly for reading our blog and letting our readers know about the checks in the MSC system. As we mentioned, we do not believe this information discredits MSC because we know about the Chain of Custody program. This news and the news from Oceana earlier this summer just show how deep-rooted mis-labeling is in our seafood supply chain. If these results can occur with so many regulations in place, it's no small wonder that we're seeing reports like the one Oceana released. The best thing consumers can do to combat mis-labeling is to learn as much as possible about their favorite fish species to ensure they are actually getting the fish they believe they are purchasing. We plan to begin a chef series to help consumers do just that! All my best, Mel Amy,

We have approached the authors to share their data with us and once we have conducted a full review of the products reported as mislabelled, we will publish the outcome of our investigation and provide information relating to actions the MSC has taken. Because the MSC Chain of Custody programme requires full traceability at every point of the supply chain, our investigation will be able to identify if any breach has occurred and pinpoint exactly where in the supply chain it happened. If proven, it could result in the suspension or withdrawal of their Chain of Custody certificate. The MSC has a long running programme of DNA testing as part of its commitment to ensuring robust and credible chain of custody certification. Results analysed by the TRACE Wildlife Forensics Network in 2009 showed that all samples of MSC certified South Georgian (Patagonian) toothfish came from the MSC certified fishery.
