87% of "Red Snapper" Is Not Red Snapper

[00:00:00]You ordered the red snapper. You paid for the red snapper. It looked like red snapper. It tasted like what you thought red snapper tastes [music] like.

[00:00:09]The FDA ran a study. They bought fish from restaurants and grocery stores across the United States. Then they tested the DNA.

[00:00:17]87% of fish sold as red snapper was not red snapper. Not sometimes, 87%.

[00:00:24]It was cheaper fish, farm-raised, mass-produced, [music] labeled, packaged, and sold as something it was not.

[00:00:32]The waiter did not know.

[00:00:34]>> [music] >> The store did not know.

[00:00:36]The only way to find out is a DNA test, >> [music] >> which no one is doing.

[00:00:40]This is happening in every city, every restaurant, every fish counter at every grocery store you have ever been to.

[00:00:47]The FDA knows. They have known since at least 2013.

[00:00:52]The practice is largely still legal. You have never eaten red [music] snapper.

[00:00:56]You have eaten something, but not that.
