Today, BLOOM’s report “Willful Ignorance” reveals how supermarkets are complicit in the massacre of marine life and serious human rights violations. What is the crime? Canned tuna sold on supermarket shelves in Europe.

The report establishes an unprecedented ranking of Europe’s biggest supermarkets according to their tropical tuna sourcing practices. The results are indisputable: supermarkets are selling European consumers tuna-based products that are associated with human and ecological tragedies.
