SEATTLE – Teams of federal and state wildlife enforcement officers have just inspected a market in Seattle's International District.
"Give me a couple hours and I'll find labeling violations," said Officer Eric Olson of Washington Fish & Wildlife Enforcement.
It didn't take him long to find multiple instances of mislabeling and faulty paperwork in this market and one in White Center. Today the team is looking at some smaller markets but recent investigations with federal National Marine Fisheries (NMFS) Agents found widespread mislabeling among small and large operators.
"We see it's called a ludufresh salmon, but we all know there's no such thing," NMFS Special Agent Mailie Bliss pointed out on one package.
