SUSTAINABILITY

FULLY TRACEABLE PRODUCTS

We belive fresh food should be locally sourced to mitigate effects on climate and for consumers to be confident about the products they consume

We addresses the sustainability challenge through the following strategies
Production closer to consumer – thus reducing CO2 footprint
Escape proof facility with no escape or sea-lice
Limited discharge
Efficient Feed Conversion Rate

ASC – Aquaculture Stewardship Council

Through ASC certification, it will be ensured that the production of farmed fish takes place in a environmentaly and socially responsible manner. Fredrikstad Seafoods has started the prosess to certify the site in accordance with ASC. The first revision was carried out in October 2020, see link below.

By choosing ASC-labeled fish, you can be sure that the fish is farmed responsibly and sustainably.
