No flies on Faroese firm

The company is quick to emphasise that their salmon are now fed with feed produced from fish oil which is cleaned for environmental pollutants like PCBs and dioxins. And, although it is still a year until the group’s salmon that have been raised on the new formula are ready for market, the firm is already starting to promote the idea.

Routine tests made by the Faroese Food and Veterinary Authority show that the levels of these environmental pollutants in Faroe Islands salmon are far below all assigned limits. However, by cleaning the fish oil in the feed, Bakkafrost believes that it will further strengthen its position as one of the healthiest farmed salmon in the marketplace.

Bakkafrost also boasts that it does not use any antibiotics and only uses non-GMO feed.
