🌟 We are delighted to announce that Tesco has published its Farmed Decapod Crustacean Welfare Policy! We have had the honour of closely collaborating with Tesco to improve shrimp welfare within their supply chain, facilitating their transition to humane slaughter practices 🦐 This significant update highlights Tesco’s dedication to the humane treatment of decapod crustaceans, marking an important step forward in the industry. Notably, Tesco has pledged that by 2026, 100% of farmed P. Vannamei will be electrically stunned. They also plan to phase out eyestalk ablation from their supply chain by 2027. Additionally, they will no longer sell live decapod crustaceans in stores or online, further underscoring their dedication to improving crustacean welfare. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Tesco for their dedication to improving crustacean welfare and for allowing us to be part of this important initiative. This progress reflects a growing focus within the industry on prioritising and addressing the welfare of decapod crustaceans 🚀
