BILOXI, MS – Wally Gollott checks his computer these days just as much as he checks the seafood conveyor belts at Gulf Pride Seafood. The new Gulf Seafood Trace program shows him where everything in his plant comes from.
"Your imported shrimp will not have any kind of traceability and a lot of times they have antibiotics that are in the shrimp that the consumer is not aware of," Gollott said.
The program is operated by the Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission and it uses the latest high tech tools to track your seafood, according to Gollott.
"It gives the customer to go up there, scan it with his iPhone, and it will tell him from the point of where the shrimp was caught from, where it was processed, and where it was delivered to," Gollott explained.
