外媒：泰国虾加工涉及剥削奴工问题 产品出口世界各地

    食品伙伴网讯    据外媒报道，媒体一项调查发现，泰国大量奴工被困在工厂里剥虾壳，这些虾最后出口到全世界的连锁超市和餐厅。

    媒体针对泰国海鲜业奴工问题进行系列调查后，今年已有超过2千名受困渔民获释，并拘捕12人，数百万美元的资产被没收。

    美国海关纪录显示，这些虾进入美国大型食品店和连锁店，如沃尔玛、全食超市以及餐馆红龙虾（Red Lobster）和橄榄园（Olive Garden）。有些也进入了美国名牌海鲜食品和宠物食品中，包括Chicken of the Sea和Fancy Feast。

    沃尔玛、红龙虾等公司表示，他们努力确保供应商的虾不涉及奴工问题。

    Poor migrant workers and children are being sold to factories in Thailand and forced to peel shrimp that ends up in global supply chains, including those of Wal-Mart and Red Lobster, the world's largest retailer and the world's largest seafood restaurant chain, an Associated Press investigation found.

    At the Gig Peeling Factory, nearly 100 Burmese labourers were trapped, most working for almost nothing. They spent 16 hours a day with their aching hands in ice water, ripping the guts, heads, tails and shells off shrimp. One girl was so tiny she had to stand on a stool to reach the peeling table. Some workers had been there for months, even years. Always, someone was watching.
