Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) is an independent, not-for-profit organization that operates a voluntary, independent third-party certification and labelling program based on scientifically robust standards.
The new ASC feed standard, effective from 2023, the ASC Feed Standard tackles one of the biggest potential impacts of aquaculture. The production and supply of feed. The ASC Feed Standard drives transparency and both social and environmental improvements in feed supply chains. From October 2025 all ASC-farmers must use ASC-compliant feed to in order to keep the ASC certification of their fish.
Our facility in Buhl, ID has been officially certified by Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC). We are working to complete at our Angleton, TX facility. This transition reflects the continued evolution of the aquaculture industry and our commitment to responsible sourcing, environmental stewardship, and ethical business practices.
ASC certified feed manufacturers contribute to the global effort to reduce deforestation and land conversion by means of a public commitment, followed by a public action plan, to transition towards deforestation and conversion free supply chains.
Our work toward ASC certification complements our broader Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, which emphasizes sustainability, transparency, and positive social impact throughout our operations. As we progress through the certification process, we remain focused on upholding these values and will share relevant updates and documentation in accordance with ASC guidelines.
