In previous years only Safeway and Whole Foods have earned the \u2018green rating\u2019, but this year Trader Joe\u2019s joins them on the green list.<\/p>\n
Greenpeace has also praised Walmart for introducing both fish aggregating device (FAD)-free skipjack and pole-and-line albacore in more than 3,000 stores across the country.<\/p>\n
The CATO report gives each supermarket a score of 0-10, based on a variety of factors, including the sale of \u2018red list\u2019 seafood, engagement with conservation initiatives, transparency of supply, and the establishment of cohesive internal policies.<\/p>\n
Wegmans, SUPERVALU and Trader Joe\u2019s have also taken strong stands to protect the delicate Zhemchug and Pribilof Canyons of the Bering Sea, home to the billion dollar pollock industry. The report also showcases other key issues facing the seafood industry, such as a need for more transparency at point-of-sale and a growing groundswell of opposition to genetically modified salmon, a product that numerous major retailers have already pledged not to sell.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s hard to believe that brands like Kroger, Publix & BI-LO are continuing to sell tuna that\u2019s sourced using destructive fishing methods, and sell red list species that are struggling for survival,\u201d said Casson Trenor, Greenpeace Senior Markets Campaigner. \u201cThis seems so far out of step with consumer preferences, which have encouraged most grocery retailers to offer more sustainable seafood options.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
