The accreditation applies to salmon to be harvested in the autumn of this year.<\/p>\n
Label Rouge certification is the official endorsement of the French authorities for superior fresh produce. To achieve the recognition, SSC has had to meet a very stringent standards set down by the French National Institute for Origin and Quality (INAO) relating to farming techniques, feed, equipment, hygiene and staff training.<\/p>\n
Label Rouge promotes the traceability of salmon from egg to plate and a sell-by date, assuring the end-customer of freshness and provenance.<\/p>\n
Su Cox for The Scottish Salmon Company, said: \u201cExport markets are particularly important for our premium quality salmon and to have achieved the Label Rouge certification for our salmon is a tremendous endorsement of the high standard of work that takes place continually across our operation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is particularly heartening about this award is that it says our salmon is not only of a high quality and freshness but it also tastes good enough for even the most discerning French chefs to want on their menu.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last year, SSC, which produces over 20,000 tonnes annually, exported around one third of salmon produced, building on a reputation for premium quality and environmental excellence. The aim is to increase exports to approximately 50% of all salmon produced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
