據外媒報道，媒體一項調查發現，泰國大量奴工被困在工廠里剝蝦殼，這些蝦最后出口到全世界的連鎖超市和餐廳。
媒體針對泰國海鮮業奴工問題進行系列調查后，今年已有超過2千名受困漁民獲釋，并拘捕12人，數百萬美元的資產被沒收。
美國海關紀錄顯示，這些蝦進入美國大型食品店和連鎖店，如沃爾瑪、全食超市以及餐館紅龍蝦（Red Lobster）和橄欖園（Olive Garden）。有些也進入了美國名牌海鮮食品和寵物食品中，包括Chicken of the Sea和Fancy Feast。
沃爾瑪、紅龍蝦等公司表示，他們努力確保供應商的蝦不涉及奴工問題。
部分原文報道如下：
Poor migrant workers and children are being sold to factories in Thailand and forced to peel shrimp that ends up in global supply chains, including those of Wal-Mart and Red Lobster, the world's largest retailer and the world's largest seafood restaurant chain, an Associated Press investigation found.
At the Gig Peeling Factory, nearly 100 Burmese labourers were trapped, most working for almost nothing. They spent 16 hours a day with their aching hands in ice water, ripping the guts, heads, tails and shells off shrimp. One girl was so tiny she had to stand on a stool to reach the peeling table. Some workers had been there for months, even years. Always, someone was watching.
