Target Drops Farmed Salmon
Target eliminates farmed salmon products from its store.
January 28, 2010
On Tuesday, national retailer Target announced it is removing all farmed salmon from its stores. The policy also applies to Target-owned brands Market Pantry and Archer Farms, which are sold in grocery stores across the US. The retail chain will now carry wild-caught Alaskan salmon, meeting the sustainability standards of the Marine Stewardship Council, an independent non-profit organization that monitors fishing practices worldwide. Greenpeace believes that Target’s new policy will prompt other seafood retailers to carry sustainably sourced products. Target is a Minneapolis-based company with more than 1,700 stores in 49 states.
