Health Food Chain Stops Selling Shark Cartilage Capsules
Holland & Barrett, the UK’s largest chain of health food stores has stopped selling shark cartilage capsules. This is partly as a result of a year-long campaign by Bite-Back which is a UK-based organisation dedicated to the protection of sharks by reducing demand for their meat and fins.
Over 3000 supporters sent Bite-Back campaign emails to Holland & Barrett’s headquarters asking them to discontinue selling the capsules.
Having said that, Holland & Barrett do still seem to have them listed on their e-commerce website.
