Or not... http://www.adn.com/alaska-news/crim...tenderloin-gets-hit-with-50000-in-fines/Fairbanks restaurant passing off elk as 'reindeer tenderloin' gets hit with $50,000 in fines Author: Suzanna Caldwell Updated: 16 hours ago Published 19 hours ago A Fairbanks restaurant that knowingly sold New Zealand elk as reindeer pleaded guilty Tuesday after being criminally charged with violating Alaska food safety laws. As part of a plea agreement for the misdemeanor charge, The Pump House LLC agreed to pay $50,000 in criminal fines after an investigation revealed the restaurant had been serving elk in place of a "reindeer tenderloin" since at least 2013, according to a statement from the Alaska Department of Law. The restaurant also agreed to split $10,532 in donations to three Fairbanks nonprofits as restitution and issue a public apology in the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. Assistant Attorney General Carole Holley said in an interview Tuesday that during a routine health inspection an investigator noted that reindeer was listed on the menu but there was no reindeer meat actually in the restaurant. Employee interviews, including with the restaurant manager, later confirmed that the restaurant had sold elk in lieu of Alaska reindeer. In its public apology notice printed Saturday, the restaurant acknowledged it learned such a practice was in violation of state and federal law in August 2015. The notice said the restaurant immediately corrected the menu. Alaska's food labeling laws serve as both a public health service, indicating possible allergy concerns, and to eliminate unfair business advantages. The restaurant currently lists a "red deer tenderloin" on its menu, served with "berry demi-glace, sweet potato bacon hash and chef's vegetables." Attorneys for The Pump House declined to comment Tuesday. About this author Suzanna Caldwell

I think he restaurant owner would have said he/she just short circuited and that they'll do better next time.

Sad you would condone breaking laws as a regular course of action.

We need more of our senior citizens being arrested and put behind bars when people come into their homes, yell at them in response to simple requests, and threaten to burn their homes. What difference does it matter if people break laws when our leaders do it and our enforcers apply it haphazardly?
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.

Interested to see what this apology entailed (not seeing it online). Is it one of those "sorry we got caught, didn't know it was against Federal/State law" type of apologies? Or was it a "genuine" apology for lying to customers for several years, regardless of the legality?

I advocated nothing of the kind. Just pointing out your holier than thou hypocrisy. Words have meanings; anyone reading the other thread would come to exactly the same conclusion about your comments. You cannot go back and change your words. Here, the folks got caught and the inspectors (reporters?) made it sound like they caught Al Capone while serious violators are not even prosecuted in many cases here... Huge difference, but you missed that and claimed I was advocating breaking laws... yeah, everyone run out and buy a restaurant and start selling mislabeled meat!
