The increasing demand for sustainable seafood is now confronted by a restricted and declining supply.
The availability of sustainably sourced wild-caught seafood is decreasing, making it more important than ever to guide the rapid growth of aquaculture and to ensure the implementation of strong and responsible management practices.
All our Arctic charr are ASC certified, guaranteeing:
• transparency of origin
• quality at each stage of production
• good aquaculture farming practices that maintain or improve surrounding ecosystems
• adherence to corporate social responsibility principles and commitment to local communities
Their diet resembles the natural, GMO-free food of their wild cousins, and no antibiotics, medicines, or land-animal ingredients are used in raising Arctic Charr. The feed is sourced from sustainable Icelandic resources.
Iceland is the largest producer of Arctic Charr in the world and is leading the way in sustainable aquaculture. The fish is raised in crystal-clear water using renewable green energy. No antibiotics or other medical products are used in Arctic Charr farming in Iceland, and the fish has not been genetically modified in any way.
The Icelandic Arctic Charr is a premium-quality product raised under excellent farming conditions. It has outstanding nutritional value, particularly rich in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D, and is known for its clean, mild, and slightly sweet flavor.
The Icelandic food safety authorities — MAST and local Health Inspectors — oversee production in accordance with Icelandic and EU regulations, working in close cooperation with EFSA (the European Food Safety Authority).
Iceland has adopted EU Directive 2009/28/EC, promoting the use of energy from renewable sources across Europe.
The Icelandic Arctic Charr has an excellent nutritional value.
