Quality

Skagerak Salmon A/S is a consumer-oriented production company with an acute awareness of consumers’ increasing demands for healthy, nutritional and sustainable food products. We only use raw materials from sustainable farms and offer full traceability from egg to end product. We do not use any additives in our production.

Traceability
Each batch of raw material comes with a certificate from the supplier with the following information:

  • brood stock/smolt supplier
  • location of farm and licence number
  • feed composition, vaccine, fat content and colour.
This information is registered in our production system to ensure full traceability of each product back to the egg.

Sustainable farming
To ensure sustainable farming in harmony with nature we only use salmon:
  • from selected and approved farmers and harvest plants with an approved HACCP check system
  • with full traceability from egg to end product
  • farmed in the clear cold Atlantic waters of the Norwegian fjords
  • farmed in large cages in which the salmon take up max. 2.5% of the cage volume
  • fed with high-quality feed from sustainable resources
  • produced under quality control and analysis by independent external laboratories.

Skagerak Salmon A/S is certified according to the GLOBALGAP Chain of Custody standards. GLOBALGAP certification documents that the product reaches accepted levels of food safety and quality, and has been produced sustainably, respecting the health, safety and welfare of workers, the environment, and animal welfare issues. The certification is evidence of good fish farming practices in the production of food for human consumption.
