Toward Food Safety and Quality Control! In a recent workshop to enhance food testing laboratory capacities and services, experts and stakeholder representatives gathered and discussed the current status, challenges and strategies for obtaining ISO 17025 accreditation. Through collaboration and knowledge sharing, laboratories are driving improvements in food safety and quality control in Cambodia. This initiative is part of the #EuropeanUnion-funded CAPFISH-Capture: Post-harvest Fisheries Development project, jointly implemented by the Fisheries Administration and UNIDO. #FoodSafety | #EUinCambodia | #ProgressByInnovation

Waste is not the only barrier to safer aquaculture. From catch to fork, foods face hundreds of challenges to remain safe and nutritious. We are dedicated to addressing these challenges through a rigorous 5-step process, ensuring the highest quality of our products: 1. Trusted Sourcing: We source fish only from reliable farms and farmers, guaranteeing the highest safety standards. 🐟 2. Quality Packaging: Our packaging maintains the freshness of the fish. 📦 3. Controlled Freezing: We freeze fish at -18°C to preserve their quality. ❄️ 4. Transparent Shipment: We ensure traceable shipment with advanced tracking systems. 🚚 5. Reliable Distribution: Our distributors are committed to upholding the quality of the fish until it reaches you, ensuring that it is safe and fresh. 🏠 You can also join the food safety mission by connecting with us. #FarmersMarketAsia #SustainableAquaculture #QualitySeafood #SafeFood #EnvironmentalResponsibility #FoodSafety

Important reporting on the absence of seafood from Westminster food security debates in Fishing News last week: https://lnkd.in/eRYZG5p9 Disappointing, but not surprising, to hear that seafood, fisheries and aquaculture are being systematically ignored in debates and policy about food security. It's a long-term trend that we discussed in a working paper 'What about seafood?' recently published by International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and Marine Conservation Society. What would it take to put seafood back on the policy menu in the UK? Stronger lobbying? More research and evidence? Different policies? We have some ideas brewing but it would be great to hear what others think. Christian Reynolds Jack Clarke Annabelle Bladon Alejandro Guarín Anna Ducros José Morell-Ducós

Given that #farmedseafood has had public issues with regard to the environment and food safety in the past, misinformation and misconceptions have run rampant, resulting in confusion and a lack of confidence in buying and eating seafood. To clarify the most common myths and misconceptions about aquaculture, GSA has compiled a list of widespread myths about farmed seafood. Much progress towards sustainability has been made throughout the industry over the past few decades, however, as with every industry, there is room for improvement. GSA has created these resources as a means for consumers to feel more educated about their seafood choices. Want to learn more?

'As per our normal procedures, the [federal] department [of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry] will seek assurances from China that cooking oils exported to Australia are safe for consumption. 'Importers will also be advised to seek assurances from suppliers. There are no import bans currently in place for cooking oil from China. 'That's the vulnerability: if you don't actually have your own national testing systems, but the companies working in China take shortcuts, the world is then exposed'. Mate, it's the PRC: this thing is merely another thing they seek to weaponise (like fentanyl and precursor chemical exports) to harm foreign populations who don't kowtow. It's long past time we woke up and stopped relying on market forces (sorry, 'assurances') to prevent our people from getting poisoned by a government which is quite happy to threaten the physical safety of our navy divers and our aviators in international waters and airspace. https://lnkd.in/gYEfWeCh

In 2023, Nofima, the Norwegian Institute of Food, Fisheries, and Aquaculture Research carried out a study of farmed salmon fed feed incorporating Aquaterra omega-3 oil, which contains high levels of omega-3 fatty acids traditionally sourced from wild-caught fish. Nofima found that salmon fed Aquaterra were healthier than those fed only standard plant oil, and had better coloration, showing a reduction in the prevalence and severity of dark melanin spots in the filets. Shortly after the study was published, Aquaterra was approved for use in salmon feed by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. We want to thank AquaFeed for bringing attention to Nofima's study, which highlighted the potential of Aquaterra as a key new source of omega-3 for use in fish feeds, and for discussing the need for the aquaculture industry to continue developing, exploring, and utilizing such alternative omega-3 sources. #aquaculture #omega3 #sustainability

A great project with significant innovations for the aquaculture field.

Seafood Sustainability: Seafood fraud can be widespread. Studies conducted in the United States have estimated anywhere between 16 to 75 percent of seafood sold in the country is mislabeled. #seafood #sustainability #labeling https://lnkd.in/eFaUif3A

What do we need to look out for when buying sustainable seafood?   The recent The Guardian article shares pointers for those in the UK wanting to choose responsible seafood. Look out for the green tick of Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) when purchasing farmed salmon and seafood, and the blue tick of Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) when buying wild to feel assured you’re choosing seafood from the highest standards. The Good Fish Guide also provides a comprehensive breakdown of best choice options and things to avoid.   Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eQUR4VG3   #sustainablesalmon #asc #gsi

When this fair was established, it attracted many merchants in the seafood industry including exporters and importers to gather here to look for each other as well as to "SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE? " But then, especially when COVID swept through, it cooled down the picture that Vietnamese exporters had painted for VIETFISH, the fair became "emptier" than in previous years. Exporters such as India, Indonesia, Korea, etc. are more present than importers coming to find quality and reputable supplies. Take a typical example: MEKSEA is the Platinum sponsor for Vietfish over many years and has invested extremely grandly in its booth, but the rate we welcome customers has gradually decreased. But that's not why we feel "bored" with VIETFISH, but it is the motivation for us to spread more to the international seafood community and say: Please come here, even though you have never been here before. never been intention but try coming here once, you will feel "it is true that the country is one of the top seafood exporters in the world", they have a variety of seafood products, especially nutritional value products extremely high but the price is extremely suitable. This is where you can find items that you "intended" to sell but didn't know where to start. This is where you can connect with "REAL" and "REPUTABLE" exporters instead of having to find these things on the INTERNET, but it brings many risks because it is impossible to authenticate the person sitting in front of the computer screen that we're working - "Who are they?"
