Food Lion has joined the Ocean Disclosure Project, a global platform where retailers can share insight into their sourcing methods to ensure sustainability. Currently, all seafood products sold in Food Lion stores are fully traceable to the wild fishery or farm, and this platform outlines the origin of the wild-caught species offered for sale at Food Lion locations.
“When you buy seafood at Food Lion, you can trust that the products you buy in our stores are brought to you in a way that you can feel good about,” said Meg Ham, president of Food Lion, in a statement. “Being a good neighbor to us means offering the products and services our customers expect from Food Lion, but also sourcing and packaging those products and operating our stores in a sustainable way. It’s important to us that our customers know where their seafood comes from, so it only makes sense to join the ODP and make public the origin of wild-caught seafood sold in our stores.”
