Genetic Testing Exposes Labeling Law Violations at Alabama Shrimp Festival

The National Shrimp Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama, which attracts around 300,000 seafood lovers, has been found to have multiple instances of mislabeling of foreign shrimp as domestic.

A genetic testing firm, SeaD Consulting, uncovered the violations during the four-day event, which celebrates wild-caught shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico.

The festival appointed Chandra Wright as the "chief shrimp investigator" to ensure compliance with Alabama's new seafood labeling law.
