Anova Food’s ocean farm raised pompano has achieved certification under the Good Aquaculture Practices standard also known as AquaGAP.
Anova Food, LLC has announced that the Institute for Marketecology (IMO) has inspected the farm, processing facilities and feed used in the production of its ocean farm raised pompano, and has certified the pompano to meet IMO and AquaGAP standards.
IMO congratulated Anova Food on becoming the first company to achieve AquaGAP certification for Pompano.
AquaGAP certification on farm raised seafood aims to ensure consumer trust in quality, sustainably produced seafood products.
Certification from AquaGAP assures:
- Transparency of origin
- Quality and food safety at each stage of production
- Good aquaculture farming to maintain or improve the health of surrounding ecosystems
- Principles of corporate social responsibility and commitment towards local communities
- Animal welfare
The pompano fillets Anova offers have complete traceability and are marked with a lot code which allows the consumer to trace each fish, what it was fed through its entire life-cycle, and its feeding schedule. The pompano has been initially frozen at an ultra low temperature of approximately -98°F to preserve its natural colour (rich, red blood line) and taste.
