SEAFOOD.COM NEWS [Seafoodnews.com] โ April 19, 2013 โ Stop & Shop has launched a new "Sustainable Choice" program on products that are sustainable, safe, and responsibly produced.

Seafood items that currently meet these criteria and are available at the fresh seafood case include Farmed Tilapia, Alaska Pollock, Alaska Sockeye Salmon, Pacific Cod and Previously Frozen Haddock.
12 oz. frozen pre-packaged items that are in Stop & Shop's own brand include Alaskan Cod Fillet, Flounder Fillet, Skinless Haddock Fillet, Crispy Breaded Fish Fillet, Crispy Breaded Fish Sticks. Additional eligible seafood items and Stop & Shop own brand items will receive a Sustainable Choice icon over the next two years.
