Tesco PLC is updating its salmon standards with the intention of reducing the amount of wild-caught fish that is fed to salmon in aquaculture. Through their new salmon standard, Tesco is encouraging salmon suppliers to incorporate the use of more sustainable feed ingredients like natural marine algal oil rich in omega-3 EPA and DHA.
As the world's third largest retailer, with over 3400 stores worldwide, Tesco's decisions have often helped to influence consumers and other retailers. The introduction of higher salmon standards illustrates the company's ongoing commitment to implementing impactful sustainability measures that help to make healthy sustainable products accessible and affordable to all.
"The development of sustainable aquaculture is essential for the future of humanity's food security. Appropriate species, environment-friendly techniques, and sustainable feed supplies, such as algal oil, are surely the way ahead", says Peter Thomson, United Nations Secretary-General's Special Envoy for the Ocean.
Veramaris strongly applauds Tesco's move to strengthen their sustainability profile in the seafood sector as it sends out a clear signal that sustainability is not tomorrow's issue, but today's. With Veramaris' waste-free algal EPA+DHA omega-3 production facility in Blair, Nebraska, USA up and running, Veramaris is ready to support the seafood industry's increasing efforts for improved sustainability and healthy nutrition with its natural marine algae oil rich in the essential omega-3 EPA and DHA fatty acids.
