chris.brock Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'm ok with that, I don't like the thought of wasting fish/ livestock unnecessarily like they did with the Alberta beef a few months ago it looks like it saves a few tax dollars too, by not having to compensate the fish farmer it could be shock to a consumer who buys a fillet in a package, skin side down, gets it home, fires up the BBQ, then notices some nasty lesions after the package is opened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I think they should make the politicians and CFIA gorge themselves on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danjang Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'm pretty sure a lot of foods have nasty ailments in our grocery stores. Fish we catch here too! Very common to have worms and cysts. If we only ate things that were 100% healthy we'd have nothing on our plate. I would be more concerned about the possible spread of the virus to other salmonids in unaffected populations. If this is transported throughout the country, we could have a problem!

Rich Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 It's highly likely that any big box grocery chain would send that back to the warehouse for a credit anyway. It will eventually find it's way to makeup companies or shoddy discount fish markets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
