So whats this about they may be starting the testing again did they stop random testing? Who does the testing?

from the start and up to about 2 months ago no one does the testing, MAC decided that the cyanide testing wasn;t importand when compared to the other idems they were trying to do. So basicly they are relying on the colectors being honest.

MAC cirtification is not a real guarentee yet (I personaly would love to see it work) but there is problems with the testing and it hasn't as of yet been done by MAC.

Personaly I have not heard of any importers being MAC certified yet, as most are against it, so it is all find and dandy to get MAC certified fish to the importers but will they be kept seperate from non cirtified fish? Especialy at a non certified place? Personay the only way I could ever see MAC working is if the catcher, exporter, impoter, and store delt with 100% MAC certified and nothing else. as soon as one of thease legs is missing ther eis no proof that the fish you got is MAC certified or if it has been substuted to make more money.

The Idea of MAC is good but the way they have been going about it is not.. unless there have been some big changes in the last 2 months I would question any store that says they are selling MAC certified fish as how they could be ceritfied cyanide free with no randome testing.

Is something going on tonight Naesco?
