Story

In July 2021 Ethical Consumer viewed Amazon's website. It displayed a number of meat and dairy products for sale that were not labelled as free range or organic.

In October 2013, it was announced that Amazon UK would stop selling foie gras after a Viva! campaign. It had previously stocked over a hundred products containing foie gras. Amazon UK prohibited “Animal products: Parts or products from whale, dolphin, shark, elephant (including elephant ivory) or from any other regulated endangered plant or animal are prohibited, as are products containing Foie Gras.”

However, the delisting did not apply to its worldwide operations, only the UK marketplace. In July 2021, foie gras was found on Amazon.com.

Amazon lost full marks under the Factory Farming and Animal Rights categories.
