Aquacultures can help to counter the threat of overfishing in the world's seas. However, these animals must also be farmed humanely. The ASC label identifies fish and seafood from sustainable farming. In addition to environmental standards relating to areas such as fish food, responsible use of medicines and resource consumption, the label also stipulates minimum social standards for employees. These include payment of the minimum wage and a health insurance guarantee.Our organic fish and organic prawns come from controlled organic farming in aquacultures. Only foods from operations that undergo regular, independent audits and satisfy the following requirements may be sold under the Bio Suisse quality seal:
- humane husbandry
- monitored feed that is free from added hormones and growth promoters
- no use of preventive medicines
- if possible, the fish must be of Swiss origin and/or be processed in Switzerland
