Sounds like pretty strict standards.......  ::)  ::)   "This was really a standard that was created by the government and industry to be able to okay the status quo in conventional aquaculture practices. Groups representing producers (14) outnumbered consumer associations (two), conservation groups (two) and a lone aboriginal group. The committee also was comprised of six officials from various government departments, including Fisheries and Oceans Canada."

finding your limits is fun, it can also be VERY painful.

If you care about Canada's future, get involved by holding your MLA's & MP's accountable!! don't just be sheep!!

It's always been a case of buyer beware. A fable on the label is nothing new. You go ahead and eat those dirty fish.
