METRO AG, one of the world’s leading wholesale food retailers with over 700 stores and depots across 21 countries and serving 17 million professional customers annually, has won praise for its newly enhanced animal welfare requirements for seafood sourced across its global supply chain.
The group’s updated Animal Health and Welfare Position statement, released recently on the company’s website, adds a new requirement that all fish and crustaceans sourced for METRO’s own-brand seafood products must be humanely stunned via mechanical or electrical stunning before slaughter. The updated policy applies to all METRO AG stores globally, including both its METRO and MAKRO brands, which span western Europe, eastern Europe, and Asia.
