Hypermarket chain, Cora, is launching algal-fed salmon in its 61 stores across France.
To sustainably achieve the high levels of EPA & DHA Omega-3, the salmon has been fed a diet containing a natural marine algal oil produced by Veramaris, which partly replaces wild fish in the salmon feed.
Commenting on the launch, Karim Kurmaly, Veramaris chief exectuive, said, “First with Supermarché Match and now Cora deciding to offer salmon fed on Veramaris algal oil, French consumers have increased opportunity to purchase algal fed salmon and enjoy the benefits of consuming salmon which has both a nutritional and sustainability benefit.”
Oily fish, high in EPA & DHA Omega-3, is in essential part of a healthy diet.
“EPA & DHA Omega-3 perform an important role in supporting heart, eye and brain health, and in regulating and preventing the level of inflammation becoming too high. You could say they strengthen the body’s natural defences,” commented nutritionist, Dr Patrick Sérog.
Veramaris’s natural marine algal oil offers an alternative and sustainable solution to using forage fish which traditionally have been used to feed salmon. Veramaris’s natural marine algal oil contains twice the amount of both EPA & DHA Omega-3 compared to fish oil.
