Whole Foods Market 365 Value Pack Wild-Caught Gulf Shrimp, 16/20 Count, 32 oz.

When you shop for wild-caught seafood, you may wonder about its origins and the sustainability of the supply. At Whole Foods Market, you can rest assured that our seafood department offers traceable, sustainably sourced options. Whether fresh or frozen, we can trace our wild-caught seafood back to the fishery of origin, ensuring transparency and accountability.

Whole Foods Market is committed to selling only wild-caught seafood from fisheries that have been certified as sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) or rated "Green" or "Yellow" by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch and the Safina Center. You won't find any red-rated, unsustainable options in our stores. This commitment to sustainability extends to our Responsibly Farmed seafood as well.

To earn the prestigious MSC certification, a fishery must undergo a rigorous, independent third-party evaluation in accordance with the MSC Fisheries Standard. This standard assesses the health of fish populations, the impact of fishing practices on ecosystems, and the effectiveness of fishery management. By choosing MSC-certified seafood, you can be confident that you are supporting environmentally responsible fishing practices.

In addition to our sustainability standards, Whole Foods Market also has strict guidelines regarding the use of certain preservatives in our seafood products. We prohibit the use of sodium bisulfite and STPP, ensuring that our seafood is free from these potentially harmful additives.

Another key aspect of our seafood offerings is traceability. All seafood sold in the Whole Foods Market Seafood department, whether wild-caught or Responsibly Farmed, can be traced back to the farm or fishery of origin. This level of transparency allows our customers to make informed choices and feel confident in the source of their seafood.

For those seeking a specific size option, our shrimp selections are consistently 16 to 20 shrimp per pound, ensuring a consistent and satisfying portion size.

At Whole Foods Market, we take pride in curating a seafood selection that not only meets the highest standards of sustainability and quality but also provides our customers with the peace of mind that comes from knowing the origin and integrity of their seafood. By choosing Whole Foods Market for your wild-caught or Responsibly Farmed seafood, you can enjoy a delicious and environmentally conscious dining experience.
