BJ's Embraces Seafood Safeguards

BJ's Wholesale Club said it's working with its seafood suppliers to help the company safeguard the seafood supply while continuing to provide high-quality fish and seafood to its retail store customers.

Westborough-based BJ's, which operates 195 stores in 15 states, said it has issued a new guideline that ensures fish are caught legally and that suppliers remain within their catch quotas. It is asking its suppliers to help them in the effort. BJ's said it's working with nonprofit organizations such as the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership and the Marine Stewardship Council to help take these steps.

"As a large-volume buyer of seafood, it is BJ's responsibility to help protect the oceans and waterways and have a minimal impact on the long-term health of our ecosystems," said Scott Williams, manager of product development and quality assurance.
