Just to nitpick slightly there is no such thing as white tuna. What’s called white tuna is always escolar. Albacore is a pinkish or off white tuna but I’ve never seen it listed as white tuna at a restaurant.

- vharuck 5y agoOut of curiosity, I wondered if the FDA agreed. And they do: https://www.cfsanappsexternal.fda.gov/scripts/fdcc/index.cfm?set=SeafoodList&id=Lepidocybium_flavobrunneum https://www.cfsanappsexternal.fda.gov/scripts/fdcc/index.cfm... The FDA does warn against using the name "white tuna," but they sure don't seem to care in practice.
- markdown 5y agoThe FDA cares very little about most things in practice. So long as they've issued warnings (ass-covering), they'll let mislabelling and false advertising go on willy nilly. They only get serious if people get sick. Using the wrong fish generally isn't going to make people sick.
