BIM Quality Seafood Programme Details

Consumers, quite rightly, expect the very highest standards in food production and want to know the origin of the food they eat. They demand, and look for, proof of excellence from growers through to suppliers across all food sectors.That is why BIM is introducing the Quality Seafood Programme.

BIM has devised industry standards for the seafood sector that form the basis for quality assurance schemes all independently audited and certified by a European Standard accredited body.

To help you distinguish seafood produced under the approved schemes, these products will now carry this symbol in the Irish market. This symbol has been adapted accordingly for European, UK and US markets.

Eco-certification, alongside quality certification provides an opportunity to distinguish the Irish Aquaculture Product on the global market, while positively managing the local environment that sustains the sector. So far there are eco standards for Irish Quality Eco-Salmon and Irish Quality Eco-Mussels.

The Quality Seafood Programme assures consumers that the products carrying the symbol meet the highest standards through every stage of production.
