Seafood quality assurance

TÜV SÜD offers internationally recognised seafood quality assurance services that address safety, quality and logistics throughout the fish and seafood supply chain. Our experts audit, test and inspect the product at each stage to verify that it satisfies a wide range of fish inspection and quality control requirements. We test fish products and seafood, audit the production process and review labels, among other activities.

Seafood quality control helps businesses comply with national and international quality requirements and avoid fines and costly product recalls. It helps them demonstrate traceability throughout the supply chain and avoid seafood fraud, where cheaper or more readily available seafood products are mislabeled as more desirable alternatives. All this helps businesses improve consumer trust in their brands.

TÜV SÜD’s global reach and state-of-the-art laboratories help you to rapidly achieve traceability and quality assurance across your entire seafood supply chain. 

Our specialist knowledge of seafood regulations and testing expertise means we ensure that your products comply with international and national requirements, including Chinese, Japanese, US FDA and EU standards.
