Organic Salmon Loses Seal Over Farm Conditions
9 Nov
Summary
- Organic labels withdrawn due to backlash over fish farm conditions.
- Soil Association revokes certification for industrial fish farms.
- Premium suppliers for major retailers impacted by decision.
The Soil Association is withdrawing its organic certification from salmon due to widespread criticism regarding the conditions on fish farms. This decision means that salmon previously marketed as organic will no longer carry the endorsement from this respected food quality and sustainability body.
The Soil Association's action comes after considerable public and industry backlash concerning the practices employed in industrial fish farming operations. The revocation of certification affects suppliers that provide premium organic products to major supermarkets, including Waitrose and M&S, potentially impacting consumer trust and market availability.
