Karla Hernandez, Food Engineer at UNAM, mentions that "this issue arises because at that time I was doing my social service in COFEPRIS, and when they start to do a research analysis, I start to investigate and I detect that this happens because there were no license issued to import Mexican tuna to the United States, but it was more a matter of labeling than of the quality of the tuna".
Karla Hernández comments that: 1) all food should have its composition declared 100% on its label and 2) the protection and conservation of the species are factors that have to be taken into account.
In the DNA extraction and purification and PCR analysis carried out by Karla Vanessa Hernandez and Jose Francisco Montiel Sosa, it was determined that in 3 out of 15 tuna samples, dolphin meat remains were found.
This study by the researchers demonstrates the fraudulent nature of the food industry, and puts at risk a marine species that is already in danger of extinction.
