Why Traceability Matters
When You Know the Truth, You Can Choose Better.
Most people have no idea where their shrimp comes from.
They don’t know who caught it…
Or how it was handled…
Or who suffered along the way to bring it to their plate.
That’s not just a food problem.
It’s a human rights problem.
A health problem.
A trust problem.
And that’s why traceability isn’t a luxury anymore — it’s a necessity.
The Hidden Cost of Shrimp
“If you knew what it took to get that shrimp to your plate, you might think twice about eating it.”
Forced Labor
Much of the shrimp imported into the U.S. is peeled by exploited workers, many of them children or victims of modern slavery.
Antibiotics & Contaminants
In many countries, farm-raised shrimp are treated with antibiotics that are banned in the U.S. due to health risks. But only 0.1% of imported shrimp is tested by the FDA.
Environmental Damage
Mass shrimp farming destroys mangroves, pollutes coastal ecosystems, and leaves behind toxic waste. The oceans pay the price.
Why It Should Matter to You
You deserve to know:
- What you’re feeding your family
- Who handled your food
- Whether it’s safe, clean, and ethically sourced
Because food isn’t just about flavor. It’s about values.
Traceability gives you:
- Power over what you eat
- Protection against dangerous practices
- Peace of mind knowing the truth
