Now, the seafood consumers at KnowSeafood will be able to trace the lifecycle of the live catch to their plate. America spends at least $102 billion per year on its seafood, but this year is an exception as about 90% of the people are not meeting their recommended consumption as per USDA. It is mainly due to factors as mislabeling of the import, and people are skeptical about the preparation methods. After the pandemic, consumers are more concerned about the freshness of food and the quality, as per the Power of Seafood survey conducted by the Food Marketing Institute. FDA has guided the consumers on the best way to get safe seafood is by checking out the label on where the fish was harvested and processed and to look out for certifications. It is compelling the producers to improve upon their produce and export transparency.
