Is aquaculture controlled?

In most regions, aquaculture is subject to strict controls throughout every stage of production right up to the point of human consumption. Skretting feeds undergo strict quality control processes. As we take food safety very seriously, Skretting has a global, comprehensive feed to food quality programme whereby we monitor for unwanted substances in both raw materials and feeds. 

Farmed fish and shrimp are subject to constant checks at every stage of the production process. This allows farmers to intervene at any time to ensure optimal quality, feeding, farming and environmental standards are maintained. 

Traceability is a further advantage of aquaculture, whereby the value chain uses various systems of documentation and labelling to monitor production throughout.
