Americans love to eat shrimp—Forrest Gump alone taught us there are no less than 20 ways to enjoy it—but the origin of shrimp is often a mystery and cause for concern according to new research suggesting shrimp sold at grocery stores and restaurants are misrepresented.
Conducted by the advocacy group Oceana, the study found 30 percent of the 143 shrimp products tested from 111 grocery stores and restaurants were misrepresented. The study also found consumers are often provided with little information about the shrimp they purchase, which can be misleading.
