Salmon - Food Safety
Did you know?
Food safety at Bakkafrost is supported by risk-based controls, traceability, product testing and recognised food-safety standards across relevant stages of production.
Our approach
Bakkafrost manages food-safety risks throughout the production and processing chain. Our systems address biological, chemical and physical hazards, as well as food fraud and food defence.
We use HACCP-based procedures, risk assessments, traceability systems and documented quality controls. Products are handled in accordance with applicable food-safety regulations and requirements in the markets where they are sold.
Product samples may be tested by qualified third-party laboratories as part of our quality-assurance and food-safety procedures. Employees involved in production and quality management receive relevant training.
Traceability
Traceability systems are used across relevant stages of the supply chain, including feed inputs, hatcheries, farming, harvesting and processing. These systems help us document product information, support authenticity and respond effectively if an issue needs to be investigated.
Certifications and standards
Our sites and facilities hold different certifications and approvals according to their activities. These may include recognised food-safety, aquaculture and environmental standards such as BRCGS, IFS, ASC, GLOBALG.A.P. and ISO 14001.
Certification applies according to the scope stated on each current certificate. Product eligibility and certification coverage may therefore vary by site, production stage and product.
