Amazon's 'Wild Caught' and 'Sustainable' Seafood Labels Are Just Greenwashing, New Lawsuit Claims - Amazo
Amazon is sued for allegedly misleading consumers with false 'wild caught' and 'sustainable' seafood labels.Summary
The lawsuit, filed in Seattle federal court, alleges that Amazon’s use of labels such as "wild caught", "sustainable", "dolphin safe", "responsibly sourced" and "MSC Certified Sustainable Seafood" misleads consumers about the environmental impact of its seafood products. Plaintiffs claim the claims are unsupported or materially misleading, noting that seafood supply chains are hard to verify and that at least one-fifth of imported wild‑caught seafood is not responsibly sourced. The case covers dozens of products including tuna and salmon sold under brands like Bumble Bee, Chicken of the Sea, StarKist and Amazon’s 365 by Whole Foods Market, and seeks compensatory and punitive damages. Amazon has not yet responded to the allegations.
