Sustainable seafood policies and labeling
After refusing to react to requests from Greenpeace to improve its seafood practices, Canada Safeway now says it is developing a sustainable seafood policy that it will release in 2009.
Canada Safeway does not provide enough information on seafood labels to allow customers to avoid buying destructively fished species.
Kudos
- Currently developing a sustainable seafood policy for 2009.
- Provides a small amount of information about seafood it sells in Canada through a book available at seafood counters in some stores.
- Canada Safeway CEO has visited the Broughton Archipelago to see the effects of sea lice from salmon farms on wild salmon.
Criticism
- Has taken no steps to stop selling farmed salmon and Redlist species.
- Has not established any associations with groups working on seafood sustainability.
- Has not committed to better labeling on seafood products.
