A new study has uncovered that more than 70 percent of shrimp served in Savannah’s seafood restaurants is imported, raising concerns about transparency and food safety.

The findings come amid growing support for a Georgia seafood bill that would require restaurants to disclose where their seafood, especially shrimp, comes from.

SEAD Consulting, a research firm specializing in food sourcing, tested shrimp at 44 seafood restaurants in the Savannah area. The company used the Rapid ID Genetic High-Accuracy Test (RIGHTTest) to perform the testing.

Seventy-seven percent of those establishments were found to be serving imported shrimp rather than locally sourced seafood. Only 10 restaurants in the study could confirm their shrimp came from Georgia waters.

The Georgia Record was relaunched in June of 2021 and has been extremely successful fighting corruption in the state named after King George of England. The original paper was started in 1899 and published into the early 20th century. In 2020, CDM (Creative Destruction Media) acquired Johns Creek Post and brought back The Georgia Record to better represent the state rather than just Johns Creek News.
