Charity Open Seas files complaint with UK's CMA over misleading "responsibly sourced" scampi label.

Charity Open Seas has filed a complaint with the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), alleging that the term "responsibly sourced" for scampi misleads consumers about the environmental damage caused by trawling practices used to catch langoustines. Open Seas claims these practices violate CMA guidance on truthful, accurate, and clear marketing claims. The charity seeks to ensure consumers are not misled by products marketed with this term.
