Sainsbury's Goes Fishing

Written by George Anderson

Sainsbury's announced that, within seven years, it would only sell wild fish caught in "sustainable" fisheries.

The Independent reports Sainsbury's "commitment is significant in view of mounting alarm at the state of fish stocks, both in EU waters and worldwide."

Environmentalists welcomed the move although, as The Independent reports, "there was doubt over the capability of fully accredited 'sustainable' fisheries to meet Sainsbury's demands."
