First Horse(meat) Trading, Now 59% Of "Tuna" Sold In The U.S. Isn’t Tuna
Submitted by Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
New Study Shows 59% of “Tuna” Sold in the U.S. Isn’t Tuna
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.
It seems that “white tuna” should be avoided in particular as “84% of fish samples labeled “white tuna” were actually escolar, a fish that can cause prolonged, uncontrollable, oily anal leakage.”
Oh and if you live in my hometown of New York City, you should pay particular attention:
Big Apple has big problem with seafood fraud: 94 percent of tuna and more than three quarters of sushi samples in New York City mislabeled.
Of the 142 fish samples collected in New York, 39 percent were mislabeled. New York City led the nation with the highest occurrence of mislabeled salmon as well as the highest amount of fraud among salmon collected from grocery stores and restaurants.
The full report from Oceana can be found here.
Bon appétit!

Now will you please stop feeding tuna to your cat? That's not 'spraying" that's prolonged uncontrolled oily anal leakage. But, it does attract other cats.
Brings up the question; So what then is in cat food?

huh, one day we learn officialy 80% dollars were mislabelled and then what?
Just avoid serial numbers that were used to buy t-bills.

"It seems that “white tuna” should be avoided in particular as “84% of fish samples labeled “white tuna” were actually escolar, a fish that can cause prolonged, uncontrollable, oily anal leakage.”
And here I've been thinking that my constantly soiled skivvies were because I was worried about overhead drones, FEMA camps, Fukushima radiation, currency collapse, Gold and Silver confiscation and so on.
<Now I can abandon the butt plug simply by giving up my daily diet of tuna on rye.>
Disturbing.
What...the tuna on rye or the butt plug? ;-)
Ever use Tuna lube on a butt plug??? It can make things very confusing later on !!!
Now that's even more disturbing.
(And my standards are pretty damned low as it is...)
Tuna Lube?
(holy mackrel!)
For those who like to get the cats involved in the action.
Isn't that what tuna in the can is?

I thought I was making the right choices when I decided to drop 'ground anything' from my diet, considering the horse meat scandal.
I was content with the idea of just chicken fish and pork.
pork.. leads me to wonder what do they mean when they say that other white meat ?
http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2012/11/23/concerns-for-californian-sard...
Fish don't have Cesium radiation treatments or organised hospitals full of trained personelle. Once the sardine collapse happens since it's a bait fish. Nobody is exactly sure. However the media is prepared by coaching the public on what they might be able to eat...maybe.
http://www.fishingfury.com/20061024/delicious-giant-jellyfish/
Because a filette of fried snot sounds appealing doesn't it. Hopefully the sardines manage to outbreed the radiation but it's not something anyone has been hopeful on with the continued acidification of the ocean.
So next you're gonna tell me that caviar I just ate was actually food-colored tapioca?
Yeah, it's MOSTLY WATER!! I'm starting a catfish farm...

What the fuck? I just watched that video twice and the goal was to price shit-meat close to what regular fraud-meat costs. So when you're shopping and you come to to the meat counter, you say to your wife, "Well the horse loin is $19.99/lb. How much is the shit-steak honey?" She says, "The shit-steak is $21.99 but it has less fat!" The shit-steak it is!
Soylent Green is almost upon us.
Imported cheap packaged long pork products. Dollar bacon. Dollar flash frozen chops. Flash frozen pork loins.
In an economic setup that is only interested in profit, or moeny is far more important than human needs, does it make you wonder whether or not a society like ours is worthy of its existence.

Ha! Houston/Austin; 10/10 mislabled.
But the left and right coasts catch the headliner.
Houston's the bottom coast, by the way.
I've caught and cleaned tuna in Cabo. The "tuna" I've had so far in Dallas has been real. I did have some questionable stuff in Austin. If you don't live next to a big international airport, don't eat sushi.
Nothing is real anymore.
sometime soon, we're going to hear that recycled human protein is in our food, passed off as some sort of soy/seaweed extract.

One side note, Pedro's fish shack on the south end of the beach in Tamarindo Costa Rica where I watched the old man or his two sons pull in the net with an assortment Red Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Manta Ray, Shrimps, and Langostas which later determined the days menu. For one moment after a perfect session surfing Tamarindo Beach in between seasons where it's mostly the locals and random travelers, I ate my Mahi Mahi which was flopping around not but 45 mins ago as Pedro Jr. would tell stories. It felt as real as any hologram does.
As far as seafood, I know I have had the "real" stuff as many times as I ate at Pedro's...
Nothing is real anymore.
Except ObaMao's GUN GRAB, is all about taking them away BEFORE the Chinese come in and start owning/farming mining our Federal Lands,because we will have to default on their debt.Seems like if the Chineee wanted to they could just buy it now?, but that would mean UST's would be cashed out...................Hmmm?
This is why China is #1 at the top of the list SCREAMING to disarm Americans.

The Economic Recovery has been grossly mislabeled as well............
Isn't it ironic in the most highly regulated city of New York such fraud could originate? Mayor Bloomberg to the rescue!
99% of all CNBC Bernanke cheerleading and stock pimping, and 100% of Paul Krugman's editorials, have been found to be uncontrolled anal leakage as well.

Woohoo! Make me laugh!
So should I worry that my fish oil pills are actually filled with BP surface skim?
Not at all, oil leakage from around BP holes is normal.

I have been laughing my ass off on the comments. There should be a ZH best of comments section.
Yeah, If I didnt have the comments to make me laugh at these stories I would be crying. The other day someone said CNBC is chewing gum for the eyes, that's had me laughing for a while.
Nothing but whole wheat fish for me.
I enjoy salmon force fed corn the most. Same for my beef! Corn fed cars, corn fed food supply, corn fed candy, cheese, and corn fed humans.
don't forget cow fed corn candy!
used to work in the business, and for most of these similar bottom fish, its all in the cut, halibut is flounder is.. most of what they're calling snapper is probably rock cod, the prevelant species in the PacNw and AK. i recently was looking at some Dover sole at the store, and in big letters it said WILD CAUGHT. i thought what the heck, i thought it was all WILD CAUGHT. and farm raised anything implies you know your product and you're not just fileting everything that comes up in the net regardless. so i see this DNA thing as more of a problem for open sea fisheries, than for farm raised. but isn't most tuna caught on a line? and while i won't buy farm raised shrimp, farm raised oysters are better, if only because the pollution danger is minimized. my point may be proven by the higher number of grocery store mislabels, relative to restaurants. restaurants are going to sell farm raised if its cheaper, and most socalled seafood restaurants have very little fresh product.
I recommend not eating food that lives in it's own toilet.
people on the west coast shouldn't eat anything out of the water or breathe the air as it is all radiated thanks to the criminal management of fukushima...japan should be bombed again for that crap they spilled into the ocean....
i reissue my prediction for a collapse in west coast real estate as more and more people realize what a toxic hell it is - due to skyrocketing cancers and other ill health....CA was once a glorious state but it is absolutely ruined by stupidity at home and abroad....
How do you think they are keeping those "glowing complextions" anyway?
the "west coast" areas are indeed reporting spikes in radiation, but nowhere is actually immune, sadly.

and then there's Hanford, story dated 15 Feb. 2013,

It was amazing to see when I was living in Spokane how many people had thyroid problems or even thyroid cancer. I used to think it was because of iodine deficiency. Not so much now. A lot of muscular dystrophy too. I guess ignorance is not always blissful. I'm so glad I got out of there. Of course now Japan is dumping radioactive material probably much worse than Handford. We're running out of places to go on this planet.
Miffed;-)
Hey Miffed: As much as we joke around here I am with you. I asked your advice a few weeks ago about preppers stocking animal anti-bios and your reply was pure gold and should be taken to heart, and a lesson learned for even the most confident preppers. I seriously think the "wet coast" is buggered. Japan radiation is nearing its 2 year anniversary (March 11). Imagine your house on fire for 2 years, yet you can't see the flames, you can't feel the toxic smoke, you can't feel the heat... yet somehow you/we are still alive... until we're not.
So right Angus! I used to feel so relieved we left Spokane and away from Handford. Now I see it was just out of the frying pan into the fire. I'm glad I helped you make a decision about the fish antibiotics. I think a lot of this is just people are just so afraid they're just grabbing at anything that may give them the feeling of safety. I have to fight it too, the world is so dark now....it's hard not to get sucked in.
Keep the jokes coming! I really need the laughter. This thread has been so fun. Of course anything with "anal leakage " was destined to go to the fun side. The other day I was joking with the building manager at my work when I turned something around he said to imply his organ size. He burst into a hearty belly laugh at my double entendre and then with large eyes suddenly stopped and said " remember YOU said that not me" and quickly walked away. I felt hurt but then I realized we have been pounded recently about sexual harassment at work and he was just covering his ass. Then I log into ZH and people are ranting about smegma licking fucking banksters.
I guess this forum is one of the few places left men can really vent and say their true feelings without censure. Too many of you have let women put your balls in a box. Everything today has become so polar and so fake I guess the relationship between the sexes must go there too.
Miffed:-)
I knew it, goddamnit!!!
Didn't Doritos have a similar oily asshole leakage problem with that ingredient Olio? Not that Doritos, or was it Lay's potato chips, need added diarrhea in the first place.
Also, for your information, drinking 10-12 of Budweiser's supposed new subsidiary Kona and it's beers produce the same result, flaming liquid asshole - aka The Bernakies of Bernankerrhea!
These are all basically a pictorial of today's modern central banking debt system.
ZeroHedge is the shit, though.
it was called olestra, and caused anal leakage if memory serves. that was the end of my chip consuming ways.
Thanks One Eye!
... for solving the problems of my brown eye...
Uncontrollable anal leakage => diarrhea to most people.

horse meat sellingt beef prices and analfish selling at bluefin tuna prices. inflation is cruel riddlemaster.
You forgot pig anus calamari as mentioned by another poster. Apparently a pigs asshole tastes like Goldman Sachs (squid).
I don't believe this applies to my stock pile of Bumble Bee Tuna.
You sap ~ That's not actually TUNA, it's ground up bumble bees...
thank god nothing else looks like chicken wings...i hope.
Baby arms......
imho if food is manipulated or misrepresented those responsible should be executed.
Hey, that means Real tuna now costs so much only the 1% can afford it!
Oh well, I can still have a Bud to take the edge off the frustration....Oh wait! Bud is less than 5% !

Yum, pink fish slime.
looka like salmon is a safe labeled fish but, and it s a big but, recently we have learned that some smart minds have decided to give pesticid to salmon

so no meat, no fish. each day this world is looking better
I read the whole comments section and no one wrote "tungsten", thank god.
There is still hope for you doomers! Haha.
And thank you for the notice, Tyler, I will make sure I only buy the best sushi.
Little Paulie, Shut up and eat your Tuna. Then after dinner, get to bed and jam your Ben Wa Tungsten Balls up your ass.
And stop reading "the whole" comments section, you will put your eye out.
He has only one eye?
i wish one of the doomers who read this works in a sushi joint so whenever he sees you he flems right into ur order and his superior promotes him because he's doint a favor for mankind and humanity...
Sloppy, there, professor. Very sloppy work. You spoke too soon.
But that's what you think about inflation, right?

I just heard the one about switching calamarie out for pig anus. NPR report says they look and taste the same. I'll take their word for it.
So should we call Soylent Green: tuna, salmon, Vegemite, Spam, tofu, scrapple, or just beef?
Add "eats Tuna" to list of ppl not to socialize with. ;-)

Does anyone wonder what fish smelled like before women started swimming? Chicken of the Sea maybe?
The problem there is simply too much regulation. If we'd remove the last 2 inspectors I'm sure they could acheive 100%.
Wiki it. That Escolar fish deserves to become extinct.
Sorry Charlie
back in 2010 I was able to get "King of the Sea" tuna that was kosher but not available any longer.
I am embarrassed to say that I have suffered from prolonged, uncontrollable, oily anal leakage. But I thought broccoli was the cause.
I thought it was the 7-11 chimichangas.

The author wasn't kidding about anal oil leakage. I had to go look at the wikipedia page just to see if that was a goof or not.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escolar
Escolar's wax ester content can cause keriorrhea (Greek: flow of wax), gempylotoxism or gempylid fish poisoning. Keriorrhea is similar to diarrhea, only the body will expel yellowish-orange drops of oil instead of liquid bowel movements. Some individuals suffering from escolar-induced keriorrhea also report other digestive issues, including stomach cramps, diarrhea, headaches, nausea, vomiting, and anal leakage; onset may occur between 30 minutes and 36 hours following consumption. This condition may also be referred to as steatorrhea.
I'll take trigger burgers for $500 Alex. You guys can keep your fake sushi.
I think someone needs to order a platter of this stuff and send it over to the FED for lunch.
It is delicious. The article also says " limit portions to sixteen ounces or less" to avoid distress. Anyone eating a pound or more of meat in one setting deserves oily anal leakage.
I must be the exception to that rule. I hate fish yet I can power snack on a couple pounds of road kill and my arse remains tight as a drum.
WC Fields wouldn't even drink water. Why? "Because fish fuck in it". I have no idea if that's true so Google your asses off bitchez.
Did you hear about the girl that went fishing with 3 guys? She didnt catch any fish, but she sure came home with a red snapper.
http://youtu.be/Hu4QsFX_KyQ
i will drink some watered down beer and think about this for awhile.
That's OK because the money I'm buying it with isn't money.
You guys have given me my pulmonary workout for the day. Lungs all clear all the way down. I've not laughed so hard since...well, 2012.
And when I read the 'leakage' language I mis-read it as "...Orly anal leakage..." , which on second thought is just right!
Yeah but they are omega-3 oils, so....
So the shits good for ya to eat!
Get it shit, eat?
LOL
Goddamned I'm funny

Did you say "mislabeled"? You mean "fraudulantly labeled", do you not? To call something "mislabeled" implies a mistake. These are not mistakes, these are intentional fraud. Period.

Plausible deniability cleans your conscience right up.
If a poor working person does it it is fraud, if a large international company does it it is a mistake.
Actually an error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it. JFK 1961
The fact that someone found out about it or it happened to you is the mistake.
An error is that it was not suppose to happen in the first place. Like when your computer freezes or wigs out it always reads error.
"a fish that can cause prolonged, uncontrollable, oily anal leakage."
Sure. If you eat a shitload of it. If you like Sushi, Escolar is delicious and it takes about 6 ounces of the fish to cause some kind of gastic distress.
I specifically ask if they have it on the menu - its my favorite next to salmon. So yes, its mislabled often, but its not like white tuna is better or tastier. Sheesh.
Carp mislabeled as cod?
