First Horse(meat) Trading, Now 59% Of "Tuna" Sold In The U.S. Isn’t Tuna

Zero Hedge


This is just the latest revelation in the stealth inflation and food fraud theme I have written about frequently in recent months. The non-profit group Oceana took samples of 1,215 fish sold in the U.S. and genetic tests found that that 59% of those labeled tuna were mislabeled.

This sort of thing not only happens in Argentina, it is also happening here.  The official story is that there's no inflation.  Lower quality food is one way of inflating without raising prices.
