Clearwater Seafoods has announced that two of its processing facilities have been certified under the British Retail Consortium (BRC) standard for food safety.

Pierce Fisheries, specialising in processed lobster and individually quick frozen Canadian and Argentine scallops, and St. Anthony Seafoods, specialising in cooked and peeled shrimp have been certified by the BRC.

These recent certifications recognise Clearwater's dedication to excellence in customer satisfaction by assigning an "A" grade to the company's stringent quality control and food safety measures.

Caroline Davis, General Manager of St. Anthony Seafoods explains the company's rationale in seeking the certification, "Globally recognised certifications such as BRC and MSC (Marine Stewardship Council for fisheries sustainability) help us to ensure that our plants and practices are meeting the best possible standards and provide valuable third party recognition of our commitment to our customers."
