According to the official CSIC website, the institution is launching a "Special Campaign Against Counterfeit Canned Fish Labeling" in the Autonomous Community of Galicia, Spain. The objective is to "strictly combat commercial fraud involving fish products within the country and strive to find the best solutions to protect the vital interests of consumers and address key issues." It is proposed that the Spanish National Accreditation Body (ENAC) laboratories be authorized to identify and certify aquatic species and categories. Throughout the exploration, promotion, and implementation process, the five aforementioned seafood industry organizations emphasized that the principles of "authenticity, technicality, and rigorous analysis" must be strictly observed, and that relevant Spanish or European legislation should serve as the legal guarantee to prevent the occurrence and spread of similar cases.
Inspection and quarantine departments remind enterprises to set "unifying and coordinating the traceability of all types of seafood products" as an established industry goal, with the aim of enhancing methods for identifying the quality and species of seafood products. Seafood product labeling should be regarded as a primary concern for enterprises. All relevant industries and sectors in the seafood industry should follow quality system supervision controlled by official channels, such as ISO 9000, BRC, IFS, and Global GAP voluntary certification.
