Tuesday, August 30, 2022

BOSTON, Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts has denied Gorton's, Inc.'s motion to dismiss a class action lawsuit against the seafood company. The complaint, filed by two consumers in April, alleges that Gorton's deceptively markets its frozen tilapia products as "sustainably sourced," which leads consumers to believe that the tilapia were farmed in accordance with high environmental and animal welfare standards. In reality, the complaint alleges, Gorton's tilapia are sourced at least in part from China, a country of origin from which the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch recommends avoiding tilapia.
