07/05/14: GLOBALG.A.P. at Seafood Expo Global, Brussels: Now 16 Aquaculture Species and a Consumer Label

 

GLOBALG.A.P. on the Way to Becoming a Full-Range Solution for Responsibly Farmed Seafood with New Strategic Links to Consumer Communication.
Friend of the Sea – FOS Aquaculture Recognizes GLOBALG.A.P. Certificates.
Friend of the Sea – FOS – and GLOBALG.A.P. announce a collaboration that offers consumer labeling for more than two million tons of aquaculture products.
GLOBALG.A.P. certified aquaculture farms will only need to be assessed against a few additional sustainability criteria to become eligible to use the international consumer sustainability FOS label for aquaculture. This recognition reduces duplication of farm audits considerably. In return, FOS certified farms will be able to add the GLOBALG.A.P. audit with the next annual re-certification audit.
Consumers will be able to recognize seafood products covered by the collaboration as they carry the FOS label with the claim: “Responsibly farmed” and the GLOBALG.A.P. farm number: “GGN 1234567891092”.
