THE CARROLL COX SHOW  :  1080 AM

 

 


PODCAST

    SUNDAY, November 15, 2009

 

    The Carroll Cox Show wants consumers to be aware of, and concerned with, recent "fresh fish" advertisements by Foodland and the sales practices of other markets .  Guests Karyn Herrmann and AttorneyJohn Parker talk about carbon monoxide treated fish and imported fish advertised as fresh with Hawaiian "local" names.
     
     .
    Label says "Fresh Island Ahi Fillet",  but, it is checked  from "Thailand".  It is not checked as "previously frozen" and there is no indication that it has been treated with carbon monoxide.
     
    DOCUMENT - From Hawaii Food Industry Assn. objecting to labeling for carbon monoxide.    It "extends the shelf-life of meat and other perishable foods by up to 15 days, but also keeps meat looking fresh even when it isn't."   
     
    Also, the Hawaii Teamsters support HB1611 relating to labeling meat and fish products.  The Dept. of Health says labeling is already the law and defers to the Dept. of Agriculture.  The Dept of Agriculture supports labeling, but defers to the Dept. of Health to enforce.
