Arroyabe brand tuna canned by Spanish Conservas La Gaviota has recently undergone a chain of custody audit for yellowfin and skipjack tuna from approved Friend of the Sea suppliers and can now carry FOS seal of approval.
The La Gaviota chain of custody was assessed based on an accurate documentary analysis which traces the product back to the approved fisheries. The storage management system in place assures that no mixing between FOS and non-FOS products occurs.
Arroyabe canned tuna is distributed mainly in the German, French, English, Swiss, Italian and Spanish markets with a wide range of different product formats.
“We share the same sustainability vision of the Friend of the Sea program,” remarks Laura Ruiz de Azua, sales manager of La Gaviota. “Friend of the Sea has become the leading sustainability standard for tuna and other species and this recognition provides an important added value for our tuna products”.
