NEW YORK: Stores found including ice in weight, price of seafood |
|
A Queensbury grocery and department store was among six stores statewide
found selling frozen seafood that illegally included the weight of ice
in the price, according to the state Department of Agriculture and
Markets.
The Super K-Mart at 308 Dix Ave. allegedly sold overpriced frozen shrimp supplied by a New Jersey seafood packer, said department spokeswoman Jessica Ziehm. Ziehm said the stores, also located in Batavia, Canandaigua, Rochester, Queens and Hauppauge on Long Island, received warning letters. She said no stores in the immediate Capital Region were part of the state survey. The state is considering enforcement action or penalties against seafood packers, she added. The overpriced shrimp sold at the Queensbury K-Mart was supplied by Eastern Shrimp Co. of Teaneck, N.J., Ziehm said. Read the complete story at The Times Union.
