yeah, but the issue is not the source of the product, it's "lying" about the source of the product.

Yes it is about false labeling and marketing and gross misrepresentation and the guilty parties will undoubtedly be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. But the truth remains that if Chinese farmed eels didn't have the quality control problem that has put them on the "dangerous" list not only in Japan but in the United States as well, this wuldmn't have happened since there would have been no motive to hide their origin to start with.

I hope the police don't let this one slip through their fingers.
