Information on original sources of fish and seafood to be made available to customers
Stop & Shop has partnered with the Ocean Disclosure Project (ODP) to voluntarily report its seafood sources, the Northeast regional grocer announced on Tuesday. The new partnership adds another layer of transparency to the supermarket’s already comprehensive seafood policy.
