Conservele de macrou din Marea Britanie nu conțin macrou, se plâng pescarii

Many canned mackerel products in UK supermarkets no longer contain true mackerel due to sustainability concerns, leading to the use of jack mackerel instead. This change has sparked complaints from consumers regarding taste and nutritional value. Retailers like Tesco and Lidl have switched to sourcing jack mackerel, which has lower omega-3 content and fewer calories. Critics argue that this misleads consumers and diminishes the quality of the product. The decline in true mackerel stocks has been attributed to overfishing, particularly by Russia, prompting calls for stricter catch limits. The ongoing 'mackerel war' among several countries complicates the situation further, with Brexit adding another layer to the negotiations.
