Is it safe to eat farmed fish and prawns?
The regulations governing the collection and processing of seafood for human consumption are among the strictest in the world. Aquaculture standards have been developing for many years and high-quality fish and prawn feed is a prerequisite for the industry. To minimise the industry's exposure to risks, Skretting has implemented dynamic quality assurances and controls at every stage of all our production cycles. Nutrace® is the management program for all Skretting companies that ensures safety and quality from feed to feed. It has been developed in such a way that all potential risks associated with aquaculture feed production are minimised and any irregularities are detected and acted upon quickly.
In addition to auditing all of our internal operations, all of our suppliers undergo a comprehensive evaluation and approval process to ensure the supply of responsibly managed, premium renewable resources. Subsequently, exhaustive analyses are carried out on all approved raw materials at the time of delivery and throughout the formulation process to the point where the food is delivered to our customers. We can also trace individual batches of raw materials back to the farm where they were produced. This unique concept allows our customers and end consumers to have full confidence regarding the feeds used by the aquaculture industry.
