About this eBook

Abstract: This GAO report gathers information on the nature, extent, and seriousness of seafood safety problems; identifies the governmental activities that address the issue; and collects expert views on the need for changes, such as the need for a mandatory seafood inspection system or other changes in existing programs. The report concluded that about 5 percent of all food-borne illness cases were seafood related and that, although the seafood industry is not subject to 100 percent product inspection by the federal government, many experts said that seafood safety problems do not reflect the need for major changes in federal programs.
