How can I ensure the quality and safety of fish and seafood purchases?
Caution and common sense should be exercised when purchasing fish and seafood. Fish products should only be purchased from reputable retail and wholesale outlets. Ensure that these sources take adequate precautions to guarantee the quality and safety of seafood products. Organizations at every level of government (i.e. municipal, provincial and federal) co-operate in regulating the production, processing and sale of all food products. For information on food safety issues, go to: Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
