With only 8 months left, John West doesn’t seem to think its promise counts anymore. Britain’s biggest retailer, Tesco, has warned John West that it will stop stocking its canned tuna if the company does not change its cruel fishing practices. The supermarket chain said in a statement on Tuesday that it had been “deeply concerned” by reports of illegal and unreported catches at sea for years but was now taking action to ensure no more Tesco ’s threat could be a damaging one to Thai Union, as the UK is the second biggest tinned tuna consumer in the world. The company assured Greenpeace in 2011 that it would make the switch to sustainable fishing by the end of 2016.
