British Columbia-based Target Marine Hatcheries’ Northern Divine caviar has become the first certified organic caviar produced in North America.
Target Marine, producer of Northern Divine and white sturgeon, is certified by Global Trust as organic under the Canadian Organic Aquaculture Standards.
“After years of commitment to organic farming practices we are proud to have become certified organic, giving a new ecological choice to the astute caviar consumer,” said Justin Henry, Target Marine general manager.
Principles of organic farming are to protect the environment, maintain long term biological stability, recycle materials and resources, provide attentive care to the animals, and maintain organic integrity of the products.
