12 Restaurants/ Stores that use children as Slave Labor to harvest shrimp.

AP reporters tracked shrimp that left facilities employing child slaves all the way to the US, using customs and shipping records. They discovered that the slave-produced shrimp made it onto the dinner tables and coolers of 11 prominent national grocery chains and restaurants. One of the buyers of the slave-processed seafood is Darden Restaurants, which owns several prominent brands like Olive Garden, Longhorn Steakhouse, and Bahama Breeze.

Thailand’s military junta government has made promises to rein in its human trafficking industry, but has yet to significantly crack down on the warehouses enslaving migrant families to process their seafood.
