Today's Main Stories: FDA warns seafood industry that short weight is a felony
The FDA took steps on Friday to warn the seafood industry that short weight on a product obtained by including glaze in stated weights is a felony. The agency prominently re-issued its 1991 guidance letter that makes the same point. Although false labeling is illegal under the food, drug and cosmetic act, the felony criminal charge comes from Ôintent to defraud'. This is how the FDA interprets short weight - as fraud, not as simple mislabeling. Because it is fraud, it is not just a problem for the manufacturer, but the criminal liability continues with all parties that knowingly perpetuate the fraud. NFI's Better Seafood Bureau - whose members pledge to only sell 100% net weight products - applauded this new emphasis by FDA. All members of the U.S. national fisheries institute are members of the Better Seafood Bureau.
Many in the industry are urging the government to more vigorously prosecute those companies that engage in this fraud.
In other news, Trident's chum salmon was the big winner at the Symphony of Seafood contest in Anchorage over the weekend. The contest also allows smaller companies to feature products, and the Alaska Fisheries Development Foundation, the sponsor, arranges for these companies to have booth space at the Boston Seafood Show to give their products wider exposure.
We revisit the issue of council appointments in Alaska in an editorial, and look at the need for the councils to maintain the trust of user groups by contrasting what is happening in Alaska and New England.

Pacific council appointments as a battle between Alaska and Seattle was not really accurate, and we wanted write more clearly about the issues we feel are at stake.
In Gloucester, NMFS enforcement actions are called a "war" on fishermen, and also Jim Balsiger, head of NMFS, has not indicated to New England congressmen whether NMFS will be at all flexible with the current 2009 fishing rules. The 120 day shut down of the Gloucester auction will also have an impact on landings, say fishermen.
Dave Burney, former head of the US Tuna foundation for 25 years, has passed away. NFI's John Connelly has issued a statement.
In Southern California, the economic downturn is hitting retailers, with Albertsons, Von's and Ralph's all announcing store closings or layoffs.
Finally URI has stepped into the seafood guide arena, with Prof. Cathy Roheim putting together a resource for buyers who want to compare, or better understand, the competing seafood buying guides. Roheim hopes to encourage buyers to go deeper into the issue than a simple green or red, yes or no, mark.
