Read the case press release at the link in bio.

Last week, CAL and sued in Washington, D.C., calling out the company’s false and deceptive marketing of its shrimp products as responsibly and sustainably sourced. Aqua Star is one of the world’s largest shrimp producers, sourcing its product from companies documented to use exploitative working conditions and environmentally destructive practices. Our lawsuit alleges that Aqua Star’s supply chain is riddled with unsustainable and harmful practices and its marketing therefore violates D.C.’s Consumer Protection Procedures Act.
