Hilton Foods Releases Progressive Crustacean Welfare Policy

August 27, 2024 Aquatic Life Institute

Hilton Foods, a leading international multi-protein processor, has produced their first crustacean welfare policy, wherein crustaceans are acknowledged as sentient beings and their welfare implications during farming, transport, and slaughter are taken into account – for each of the species within Hilton’s supply chain. The policy, created with strong support from Aquatic Life Institute, indicates an important shift toward crustacean welfare considerations in the seafood sector and will likely create a ripple effect within the industry.
