A Meta-Analysis of Seafood Species Mislabeling Rates in the United States
<p>Seafood is vulnerable to species mislabeling due to factors such as complex global supply chains, varying prices, and similar appearance of species. Numerous studies have been published reporting a range of mislabeling rates for various forms of seafood. However, these studies oftentimes focus …

Evaluating Mislabeling of Raw, Ready-To-Eat Seafood Products in Orange County, California
… globally, but they are vulnerable to species mislabeling and substitution. DNA barcoding allows for fish species identification by extracting, amplifying, and sequencing a standardized gene target. A wide variety of fish products have been studied with DNA barcoding, but notably missing are …

Review of drug and biologics recalls: 2009 through 2019
… included contamination, defective products, and mislabeling. Defective product, mislabeling, and defective packaging were observed to be the common causes of recall for biologics. Injectables have the highest percentage of recalls in drug products, and blood and blood products had the highest …

Identification of Species in Ground Meat Products Sold on the U.S. Commercial Market Using DNA-Based Methods
<p>Mislabeling of ground meat products is a form of food fraud that can lead to economic deception and interfere with dietary restrictions related to allergens or religious beliefs. In various parts of the world, including Ireland, Mexico and Turkey, high levels of meat mislabeling have been …

Labeling Compliance and Species Authentication of Fish Fillets Sold at Grocery Stores in Southern California
<p>Seafood mislabeling has numerous consequences, including economic deception and food safety risks. The focus of this study was to investigate fish species labeling, use of acceptable market names, and Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) compliance for fresh fish fillets sold at grocery store …

Labeling Compliance, Species Authentication, and Short-Weighting of Prepackaged Frozen Shrimp Sold in Grocery Stores in Southern California
… research into the extent of short-weighting and mislabeling of shrimp in the marketplace. The objective of this study was to investigate frozen shrimp for Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) compliance, species authentication, acceptable market names, net weights, and percent glaze. A total of 106 …

Using NMR spectroscopy and linear discriminant analysis to molecular profile varietal honey
… been a massive target of adulteration through mislabeling and the addition of other sugars. Unethical companies do this to cut production costs while still charging the consumer full price. Previous studies have used nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to unravel possible adulteration in honey, …

SPECIMEN LABELING IMPROVEMENT PROJECT: SLIP
… significant risk. Multiple factors contribute to mislabeling errors, including lax policies, limited technological solutions, decentralized labeling processes, multi-tasking, distraction from the clinician, and insufficient education and training of staff. To reduce blood specimen labeling errors, …

Effect of Poor Sanitation Procedures on Cross-Contamination of Animal Species in Ground Meat Products
… generally used as an indicator of intentional mislabeling as opposed to cross-contamination, the actual percent of undeclared species resulting from cross-contamination has not been experimentally determined. The objective of this study was to quantify the effect of sanitation procedures on the …

Authentication of Species in Bison Products Using Molecular Methods
… a commonly used method to test for meat species mislabeling. However, due to historical hybridization between the American bison and domestic cattle, additional testing is required to confirm species. The objective of this study was to perform a market survey of products sold as bison meat and …

Defining urgent vs. non-urgent messaging in primary care to standardize workflow : a DNP project
… triage nurses, and providers. This is leading to mislabeling of such messaging and causing subsequent stress and frustration for triage nurses and providers. Purpose: The purpose of this doctoral project is to improve the process of urgent vs. non-urgent messaging using EHR templates (i.e., text …

Application of a DNA Mini-Barcoding System based on the Mitochondrial Control Region for the Identification of Raw and Processed Tuna Products
… an overall success rate of 82% (n = 69 samples). Mislabeling occurred in 11 of the identified samples (16%), including 8 products (raw, dried, and canned) marketed as yellowfin tuna, 2 samples (dried and canned) labeled as skipjack tuna, and 1 raw fillet sold as bluefin tuna. PCR amplification was …

Innovative molecular methods for fish species differentiation
… L. malabaricus) is particularly prone to mislabeling, and species identification via standard DNA barcoding is difficult due to ambiguous DNA sequences deposited in public nucleotide databases. Therefore, in this thesis the holotype of L. malabaricus (Bloch and Schneider, 1801) and the …

Multi-target Prediction Methods for Bioinformatics: Approaches for Protein Function Prediction and Candidate Discovery for Gene Regulatory Network Expansion
… are expressed as logical constraints. Both, the mislabeling of examples and the infringement of logical rules are penalized by the loss function, but Ocelot do not forces hierarchical consistency. To overcome this limitation, we present AWX, a neural-networks output-layer that guarantees the …

Exploring recent innovations in ambient mass spectrometry to deliver a paradigm shift in food safety, security and authenticity
Food fraud has been a problem for both consumers and producers for millennia; the Roman Empire instituted some of the first legislation to protect against practices which could cause illness or death to its citizens. Governments in the years since have instituted a wide variety of safeguards to …
