You’ve heard about the dangers of farm-raised tilapia, but what about shrimp? The seafood staple is a hit in the U.S., but will it prove harmful to your health?
In 2005, the USDA imposed regulations that require manufacturers to put labels on their products indicating whether the shrimp were farm-raised or wild-caught. However, due to a loophole that doesn’t require “processed” seafood to be labeled, about half of the shrimp we eat is not labeled! Even more worrisome, 90% of shrimp sellers, including restaurants, are not required to label.
