An investigation by CSO Shark Guardian alleges that Taiwanese tuna trader FCF, owner of US-based Bumble Bee Foods, has failed to implement its sustainability and human rights commitments across its global supply chain. The report, titled "Empty Promises, Empty Oceans," claims to have found significant discrepancies between FCF's public pledges and its suppliers' practices regarding labor conditions and shark protection. FCF has pushed back against these allegations, describing them as "outdated" and "not supported by reliable evidence." The company states it has already addressed many of the issues through coordination with regulatory bodies and maintains "strict policies" against illegal fishing and forced labor, including immediate suspension of vessels facing credible allegations pending investigation.
