A Gulfport, Mississippi restaurant, Mary Mahoney’s Old French House, and its co-owner Anthony Charles Cvitanovich were sentenced for mislabeling cheap imported seafood as local premium fish, resulting in five years of probation for the restaurant and three years for Cvitanovich. The restaurant must pay nearly $1.5 million in fines and forfeitures, acknowledging their fraudulent sales of approximately 58,750 pounds of misbranded seafood from 2013 to 2019. This case highlights the impact of misbranding on the Gulf Coast's seafood industry and customer trust.
