Sainsbury's, the second largest fish retailer in the UK, has announced that by the end of January 2011, all tuna used in any Sainsbury's products must be line caught.
"We're proud to be able to offer our customers pole and line caught skipjack tuna across all products from tins to sandwiches to ready meals," said Ally Dingwall, Aquaculture and Fisheries Manager, Sainsbury's. "As the UK's largest retailer of MSC and Freedom Food fish, we continue to source food as responsibly as possible. This means our 20 million customers have peace of mind that what they're buying is as sustainable as it can be."
