What is the avoid list?

     As you can see from the national consumer guide posted on the top of the blog there is an "Avoid" list. In the interest of stores in Tucson and our classes view of how we should present the data, we decided not to obtain complete data/information on which stores have items on the avoid list. We wanted this to be a positive project, but we also want to make consumers aware of this list. The avoid list is shown below:

Many stores have items on the Avoid list, so you, as a consumer, need to be aware of what things you are buying. These items are very common on the other lists and if you don't pay close attention you might purchase the wrong thing. 

For example:

Tuna: Skipjack/Light canned is found on all three lists, but is caught and processed is different ways. 

Point of information: These lists are changed frequently so check the seafood watch website periodically to keep you card updated. The website is below. There are also different cards for different regions that may apply to where you are living it doesn't just have to be in Tucson, AZ.
