Responsible sourcing
The ingredients used in aquaculture feed come from diverse supply chains, each with its own nutritional, quality, safety, regulatory, environmental and social considerations. Our approach is to define requirements for raw materials and suppliers, assess relevant risks before approval and monitor approved sources over time.
Transparency and traceability
Traceability supports ingredient approval, food and feed safety, verification and supply-chain risk assessment. The information available varies by ingredient and supply chain. We require key information from suppliers and maintain lot and batch records that connect received ingredients with finished feed. Where primary-production or manufacturer information is not available directly, this is considered in the risk assessment and follow-up.
Traceability, audits and certification provide evidence within their defined scope and support the identification and management of environmental and social risks. They do not provide assurance beyond that scope.
