Beware the Greenwash! Tesco, Boots and Subway accused of selling unethical tuna...

The Ecologist has reported that research shows high street chains using "dolphin-friendly" claims on cans of tuna are misleading customers about the damage to other marine wildlife, including turtles. Boots, Greggs, Tesco and Subway are amongst those selling huge quatities of tuna caught using environmentally damaging fishing methods.


Of the UK's top 5 sandwich outlets, only Marks and Spencer uses the more sustainable "pole and line" caught tuna in its sandwiches, although Sainsburys and Waitrose do stock tinned tuna using the same method.


Good job my local is a Sainsburys...
