 |
In May 2004, our farm successfully met the stringent requirements of the RSPCA Freedom Foods standard. This standard will allow further
differentiation from other commodity salmon farmers. Animal welfare is
consistently repeated by consumers as being of critical concern. This
represents a good opportunity for retailers and food service customers
to differentiate your salmon sales. The Freedom Food scheme covers all
aspects of salmon rearing – management, husbandry, equipment,
environmental quality, feeding, health, transport and slaughter.
