Seafood suppliers and restaurants struggle to prevent mislabeled shrimp from reaching consumers

Seafood businesses face significant regulatory and reputational risks when shrimp is mislabeled—either sold as a different species or origin than advertised. This creates compliance headaches for suppliers, restaurants, and retailers who must verify authenticity throughout the supply chain, while consumers unknowingly purchase misrepresented products. Current manual inspection and documentation systems fail to catch fraud consistently, leading to regulatory crackdowns and loss of consumer trust.
