Seafood Quality Assurance

About seafood quality assurance

Seafood quality assurance addresses the issues of managing safety, quality and logistics throughout the entire supply chain. Auditing, testing and inspection of the product at each stage verifies that it satisfies a wide range of national and international food safety and regulatory requirements. Seafood quality assurance involves testing of fish products and seafood, auditing the production process and reviewing labels, among other activities.

Carrying our quality assurance for seafood and fish products is important for several reasons:

• Comply with national and international quality requirements
• Avoid fines and costly product recalls
• Improve consumer trust in your brand
• Avoid seafood fraud where cheaper or more readily available seafood and fish products are mislabeled as more desirable alternatives
• Demonstrate traceability throughout the supply chain
