Carrefour to stop selling shark's fin too after current stock runs out

A day after Singapore's biggest supermarket chain announced that it will stop selling shark's fin, another supermarket has said it intends to do so by the end of the year.

A spokesman for Carrefour told The Straits Times on Friday it will no longer sell shark's fin after its current stock runs out.

He said the French supermarket chain, which has outlets at Suntec City and Plaza Singapura, is doing this on its own initiative, as a socially responsible retailer.

Three other supermarket chains - Sheng Siong, Giant and Shop N Save - said they have no plans to stop selling shark's fin. However, all three added that they do not advertise or run any promotions on their shark's fin products.
