Reply to comment by Born_in_Maine in Whole Foods to pause sales of Maine lobster by bostondotcom

There is Whole Foods in Portland, but this isn’t just local. Any product that contains New England seafood, which would include anything frozen and shipped, anything prepackaged, etc. I don’t know how many products Whole Foods carries that contains New England seafood, but I would imagine there’s a supply chain of seafood products that ships around the nation. It’d be interesting to know what proportion of that seafood is going to Whole Foods.

Just lobster (specifically Homarus americanus). Not all seafood. Seafood is certified by fishery, not by processing location.

The article says New England seafood.

It says "this New England-based seafood"... they were just using fancy wording to describe lobster in another line. This only applies to lobster.
