Carrefour stops buying prawns from CP Foods following slavery revelations

Supermarket group Carrefour has decided to stop buying prawns from the Thai company CP Foods, following a Guardian investigation which revealed slavery in the supply chain.

The French retailer, which is one of the four largest in the world, announced that it had suspended purchases while it audited the complex chain. Other European retailers are reportedly vetting their own supply chain to verify whether slaves are involved at any stage in the process.
