Comments that this has not been included in the Seafood Standard on the grounds that it is considered a consumer fair trading issue.
Believes this misses the main point of traceability. If seafood is called by different names along the food chain, it will be impossible to recall it at the consumer level. The primary producers are the ones who identify the fish for sale, so it would make sense to include reference to fish names in the primary producers’ standard. This would help address traceability issues and the reference could be amended if an Australian Standard is developed.
