Solid certification for Aqua Gen
Certification is important to satisfy demands for traceability, quality assurance, environmental protection and animal welfare in the production of brood fish and eggs. Aqua Gen is a supplier to many seafood producers who themselves have different certification requirements to fulfill. Aqua Gen has chosen therefore, to have several certifications which meet the standards for sale in many markets with different certification needs.
GLOBAL GAP (Global Good Agricultural Practice) is an international standard which meets the demands of food safety, environmental protection, fish welfare and health, as well as security and welfare for the employees. This is a comprehensive standard which assures the consumer that production is carried out according to strictly defined criteria.
FREEDOM FOOD is an animal welfare standard for production animals in Great Britain. This certification is supervised by the RSPCA (The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) which is one of the world's most respected animal welfare organizations.
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 9001:2000 is a standard for quality leadership. The standard requires a company to continually identify, direct, measure and improve its procedures.
All these three certifications require yearly review to ascertain that production/procedures are maintained according to standards.
