“Our customers and Omega-3 end consumers are concerned about the potential overexploitation of fish stocks and consequently they appreciate our efforts to source only from approved sustainable fisheries and trimmings,” said Daniel Zhang, vice president, KinOmega.

The FoS audit found that endangered species are not by-caught in the process and marine protected areas are respected, while chain of custody is in place from vessel to finished product, ensuring separation between approved and not approved origins.

“We requested Friend of the Sea to verify and confirm our compliance to sustainability practices, as Friend of the Sea has become the industry standard for this scope,” added Mr Zhang.
