US grocery chain Hy-Vee has partnered with two of its seafood suppliers and the nonprofit Fishwise to trace products from fishing vessel to the supermarket.
The company announced Tuesday Hy-Vee is working with Orca Bay Foods and one unnamed supplier on the initiative, which it calls its "Due Diligence Plan."
Orca Bay sells a variety of seafood products to Hy-Vee including mahi-mahi. Hy-Vee, Orca Bay and FishWise worked together to take an in-depth look at a mahi-mahi product to ensure that both its harvest and journey to Hy-Vee’s shelves were in compliance with Hy-Vee’s Seafood Procurement Policy, according to the companies.
