Mississippi Gulf Coast restaurant and its co-owner are sentenced for mislabeling seafood
A Mississippi Gulf Coast restaurant, Mary Mahoney’s Old French House, received five years probation and must pay nearly $1.5 million for mislabeling seafood.
Co-Owner Anthony Charles Cvitanovich was sentenced to three years probation and four months home detention for his role in the mislabeling.
U.S. Attorney Todd Gee stated that misbranding foreign seafood defrauds customers and harms the Gulf Coast seafood industry.
