If you’ve ever had the sneaking suspicion that the so-called halibut on your plate might be a sea bass in disguise, it turns out your hunch was right. A large-scale seafood investigation found that unscrupulous fishermen and vendors mislabel an average of half of all fish sold, negatively impacting shoppers’ wallets an... |
Have you ever had the sneaking suspicion that the red snapper on your plate may actually be another kind of fish entirely? Turns out, your hunch was probably right. A new report from Oceana, an international ocean-protection organization, claims that seafood may be mislabeled as often as 25% to 70% of the time, with ve... |
Oceana’s researchers took the CSI route to identify the problem, DNA testing more 1,000 fish fillet samples from more than 50 cities. The result: Fish species were mislabeled an average of 50% of the time. Commonly mislabeled seafood includes yellowtail (labeled as mahi mahi), mako shark (labeled as swordfish), and sea... |
There are economic incentives for producers to mislabel seafood–they may want to avoid a tariff on a particular species, for example, or simply imitate a more expensive variety. And there is no incentive for producers to stop fraudulent practices, either: 84% of the seafood eaten in the U.S. is imported, but only 2% is... |
Allergens may be the most life-threatening risk of seafood fraud. Fish and shellfish are among the most common food allergies in the U.S., along with peanuts and tree nuts (HHS 2011). Failure to declare potential allergens involving shellfish, shrimp, and other species is considered an emerging problem for public healt... |
Fraudulent fish labeling also creates a market for illegal fishing by making it simpler to launder illegally caught seafood. Illegally caught species may be overfished–or fishermen may be involved in other destructive practices (i.e. fishing in protected areas or without the proper permit). |
The problem isn’t unavoidable. With the availability of DNA testing, the U.S. government could ramp up its fraudulent-fish inspections. |
Voters remain wary of U.S. global involvement. A majority (54%) says that the U.S. should deal with its own problems and let other countries deal with their problems as best as they can; 41% say the U.S. should help other countries deal with their problems. This is largely unchanged since April, when 57% said the U.S. ... |
There are substantial differences between Clinton and Trump supporters in opinions about whether the U.S. should help other countries. A large majority of Trump supporters (70%) say that the U.S. should let other countries deal with their own problems, while just a quarter say the U.S. should help other countries. |
Clinton supporters are more divided, but a greater share (56%) says the U.S. should help other countries, while 40% say the U.S. should let other countries deal with their own problems as best as they can. |
As was the case in April, Democratic and Democratic-leaning registered voters are more likely than Republican voters to say the U.S. should help other countries deal with their problems. |
But since then, the balance of opinion among Democratic voters has moved modestly toward helping other nations. Today, 54% say the United States should help other nations deal with their problems, while 42% say it should deal with its own problems and let other countries deal with their problems. In April, opinion amon... |
Views among Republican voters have remained virtually unchanged since then, with more than twice as many saying the U.S. should prioritize dealing with its own problems (66%) rather than help other countries with theirs (29%). |
Aside from the partisan gap on helping other nations, there also are educational differences. Voters with postgraduate degrees are the only educational category in which a majority (57%) says the United States should help other nations deal with their problems. An identical share of those with less education (57%) say ... |
Supporters of Donald Trump are largely critical of free trade agreements generally and of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP. Clinton backers, by contrast, express generally positive views of both free trade in general and the TPP. |
Roughly seven-in-ten Trump supporters (72%) say free trade agreements have been a bad thing for the U.S., while only 21% say they’ve been a good thing. Trump supporters’ views of the TPP are similar: Two-thirds (66%) say it would be a bad thing for the U.S., compared with 17% who say it would benefit the country. |
By a two-to-one margin (58% to 29%), Clinton supporters say free trade has been a good thing for the country. Views of the proposed TPP agreement also continue to garner generally positive assessments from Clinton backers: 56% say it would be good for the U.S. and 24% say it would be a bad thing. About a quarter of Cli... |
Republicans’ views of free trade continue to grow more negative. Currently, about two-thirds of Republican and Republican-leaning registered voters (68%) say free trade has been a bad thing for the U.S. Only about a quarter (24%) say it has been good for the country. The share saying free trade has been a bad thing has... |
Democrats, on the other hand, remain largely positive about free trade. A majority (56%) of Democratic and Democratic-leaning registered voters say free trade agreements have generally been a good thing for the U.S. These views are little changed since August and have been relatively stable over the course of the last ... |
More than twice as many voters say the U.S. military campaign against Islamic militants in Iraq and Syria is going not too or not at all well (64%) as say it is going very or fairly well (31%). And this negative view of how the campaign is going is particularly pronounced among Trump supporters. |
Nearly eight-in-ten (79%) of those who plan to vote for Trump say that the military campaign against ISIS is not going well. Just 18% say that the campaign is going at least fairly well. By contrast, Clinton supporters are more divided, with nearly as many saying the military campaign against ISIS is going not too well... |
Voters remain divided when it comes to their bigger concern about the military campaign against ISIS. As many say their greater concern is that the U.S. will go too far in getting involved in the situation in Iraq and Syria, as say they are more concerned about the U.S. not going far enough (45% each). |
More Clinton supporters say their bigger concern is that the U.S. will go too far in getting involved (58%) than say they’re concerned the U.S. will not go far enough (31%). The balance of opinion is reversed among Trump supporters: Two-thirds (67%) say their greater concern is that the U.S. will not go far enough, whi... |
Overall, there is little change in views of how the U.S. military campaign against ISIS has been going since April of this year. However, Republican and Republican-leaning registered voters are now more likely to say the campaign is not going well. |
In April, a majority of Republicans (70%) said the campaign against ISIS was going not too (44%) or not at all well (24%). Today, that share has increased 10 points to 80%. |
Views of how the military campaign against ISIS is going among Democratic and Democratic-leaning registered voters have remained largely the same since April. |
More voters say the U.S. does not have a responsibility to accept refugees from Syria into the country (54%) than say the U.S. does have such a responsibility (41%). |
While Clinton and Trump supporters differ on many issues, the divide over accepting Syrian refugees is particularly striking. |
Trump supporters overwhelmingly say that the U.S. has no responsibility to accept refugees from Syria: 87% say this, while just 8% say they the U.S. does have a responsibility. By contrast, just 27% of Clinton supporters agree that the U.S. does not have a responsibility to take in refugees from Syria. More than twice ... |
Young voters are more likely than older voters to say the U.S. does have a responsibility to accept refugees from Syria into the country. Nearly half of voters under the age of 30 (49%) and ages 30 to 49 (47%) each say the U.S. does have such a responsibility, compared with just 34% of those ages 65 and older. |
Opinions also are divided along education lines. Voters with postgraduate degrees (62%) are the most likely to say the U.S. has a responsibility to take in Syrian refugees, while just 30% of those with no more than a high school diploma agree. |
As in the past, roughly half of voters view both Russia and China as serious problems but not adversaries (48% Russia, 51% China). A quarter says Russia is an adversary, while 19% says the same of China. And comparable shares regard each country as “not much of a problem” (21% Russia, 25% China). |
Similar shares of Clinton and Trump supporters view Russia as an adversary (29% of Clinton supporters, 24% of Trump supporters), but Clinton backers are 13 percentage points more likely to say Russia is a serious problem (53% vs. 40%). And while 30% of Trump supporters say Russia is not much of a problem, only 13% of C... |
By contrast, Clinton supporters are more likely than Trump backers to think of China as not much of a problem (31% vs. 19%). |
Since April, views of Russia among Republican voters have shown very little change. But the share of Democratic voters saying Russia is an adversary has increased from 21% to 28%. And the share of Democrats saying they don’t see Russia as a problem has fallen from 27% to 15%. |
ALACHUA, Fla. - With every news report of a school shooting, parents and guardians worry their children could be next. While law enforcement consistently train to respond to different kinds of shooting scenarios, the I-TEAM was invited along for historic training among Alachua County first responders to keep your kids ... |
Sheriff’s Office deputies, officers from the Alachua Police Department, firefighters and paramedics teamed up this week for a simulated school shooting drill at Santa Fe High School in Alachua County. It's the first time these first responders have trained together like this to respond side-by-side to a mass shooting. |
"I’m out at Santa Fe High School. I’ve got shots fired at the ball field, and I’ve got shots fired inside," a deputy could be heard saying during the school shooting drill. |
While it was only a simulation, each scenario was made to be as real as possible. |
"I’m out at Santa Fe High School. I’ve got shots fired at the ball field, and I’ve got shots fired inside," said a deputy. |
Sheriff’s deputies and firefighters get the call -- unsure of what's actually going on behind closed doors at the school - they rush in the front door. |
"You have a job to do, and you don’t have time to be scared or nervous," Alachua County Sheriff's Deputy Lance Yaeger explained to the I-TEAM. |
While we are not revealing specific tactics for law enforcement, our cameras were allowed inside as first responders practiced for the worst-case scenario. |
"They were systematically clearing the side of the building looking for the bad guy," Sgt. Barrett Boyette with the Alachua County Sheriff's Office explained to us during the drill. |
"How many patients do we have that are going to need to be moved?" |
From officers with guns, to paramedics with life-saving equipment, each worked strategically in what felt like a real situation. |
Thanks to grants and donations, Alachua County firefighters now have bulletproof vests on every rescue vehicle, so they’re prepared to go into the situations alongside police, instead of waiting. |
"Historically, waiting has proven to be completely unacceptable and catastrophic. We’ve seen it time and time again where EMS was denied the ability -- even when they had adequate training and adequate equipment such as what I’m wearing here -- and lives were ultimately lost," Lt. Dave Torsell with Alachua County Fire ... |
As the scenarios played out, instructors watched carefully. |
These men and women are taught emergency combat medicine so they can treat a victim right there in the room. |
"I’m out of tourniquets! I need another tourniquet!" |
And if they are able, first responders get each patient to safety as quickly as possible. |
While the run-throughs were not perfect, that's why they're doing drills like this. |
"It’s best we catch them now. See the mistakes now compared to in the real world when it actually happens," explained Sgt. Boyette. |
"We have to be a step ahead, otherwise, they are going to win and we cannot allow that," said Deputy Yaeger. |
It's all about protecting each other in a community where these first responders not only work -- but live. |
"I have three kids. I send them to school in Alachua County." |
These drills are continuing throughout the week so that every officer, firefighter and paramedic in Alachua County has the chance to run through scenarios and get this very important training. |

Will FDA Salmon Ruling Lead to Labeling Law? |
As the U.S. Food and Drug Administration prepares to release its final ruling on whether a genetically engineered salmon will end up in grocery stores, a handful of northwestern lawmakers are watching especially closely. |
The salmon, developed by a Massachusetts-based biotech firm, AquaBounty, would be the first genetically modified animal approved for consumption and commercialization. While the FDA has already said the salmon would be safe to eat and would pose no threat to the environment, the agency has yet to flash its final green ... |
If and when it does, some lawmakers want the genetically engineered salmon to carry a label saying it’s genetically modified, in part, they say, to preserve the identity of their state’s fisheries. |
Earlier this year, Begich introduced a bill that would require labels on the genetically engineered salmon. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, attached the measure to the 2014 Agriculture appropriations bill, winning a 15-14 vote in the Senate Appropriations Committee in June. The spending bill would require the FDA to spe... |
“So we’re kind of creating a back door, so if in their lack of wisdom, they approve this, FDA has to create a label,” Begich said. Alaska salmon has its own label: Wild-Caught Alaska Salmon. |
Earlier this month, Begich wrote to the agency, urging it not to make any announcements about AquaBounty approval over the holidays. Last year, the FDA issued key assessments on the company’s petition on the day after Christmas. |
