Top supermarkets such as Tesco, Sainsbury and others are failing to meet consumer’s requirements. These shops are offering poor and confusing labeling on fish products. The Marine Conservative Society (MSC) says that the sellers should help buyers to make the right choice by dwindling fish stocks. On Thursday 05th May 2011 a conservative charity initiated its most comprehensive seafood advice so as to assist industries, chefs, retailers and consumers to make the right choices concerning seafood products. The guide is also available in pocket wise version with buying tips and useful questions concerning labeling of products when a product has not enough information on its packaging.
The MSC believes that production zone needs to be more specified as the seafood industry is vast with a variety of sustainable certifications. Mr. Peter Duncan, MSC aquaculture and fisheries programmer manager said that a large amount of labels remain confusing and unclear. He also highlighted that seafood products labeling has not yet been improved and is still impossible to tell where exactly most fish products come from.
