About us
We are a brand of Ralco, a third-generation family owned business. trū Shrimp is focused on sustaining a growing global population with healthy, clean shrimp. It is our social responsibility to exceed food safety standards while limiting our environmental impact.
The current state of the industry has led to concern and uncertainty among consumers about where their food comes from and how it is processed. Shrimp ponds, the leading method for raising shrimp, are reaching a maximum capacity due to disease outbreak and using large amounts of unauthorized antibiotics. A Consumer Reports investigation found an alarming rate of imported shrimp containing harmful bacteria and residues of antibiotics, leading to food safety concerns.
Current shrimp aquaculture methods are taxing on the surrounding environment. Shrimp ponds displace massive amounts of water and leave the land unusable after it’s been expended. Ocean caught shrimp has also been shown to negatively impact the surrounding ocean ecosystems. It’s reported that for 1 pound of shrimp there is 20 pounds of bycatch.
With shrimp as the second largest U.S. import, consumers are demanding a better way.
