With seafood fraud and mislabeling a global concern, InstantLabs has launched two new Species ID products that test the DNA of Atlantic and Coho salmon—delivering accurate verification in less than two hours. Created in partnership with the University of Guelph, the tests join the existing line of products that identify Atlantic blue crab, pork and horse meat.
According to InstantLabs, four salmon tests in total are planned for release during 2015. The company will launch products for Chinook and Sockeye salmon later this year and plans to develop kits for snapper, catfish, grouper and tilapia.
