食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)外媒報道,近日澳大利亞三家大型超市卷入奴役童工丑聞,它們均從一家泰國公司采購蝦,然而該公司被曝光奴役童工,剝奪他們的人身自由。
對此,三大超商均表示,正對供應(yīng)鏈進行調(diào)查。這引發(fā)了澳大利亞今年夏天可能面臨大蝦供應(yīng)短缺的擔憂。
據(jù)報道,媒體曝光泰國大眾冷凍產(chǎn)品公司(Thai unio)使用包括童工在內(nèi)的勞工后,大型超市都承認從該公司采購蝦。

Woolworths, Coles and Aldi are embroiled in a child labour scandal, with all three supermarket chains confirming they sell prawns or seafood supplied by a Thai company at the centre of the allegations.
Graphic evidence of forced labour, including child labour, has been uncovered at a prawn peeling factory owned by major seafood supplier Thai unio.
An investigation by Associated Press found hundreds of workers at the company's factories working under poor conditions with some workers, mainly from Myanmar, locked inside or otherwise unable to leave the factory.
