Morey’s Seafood International has been awarded the FAO-Based Responsible Fisheries Management (RFM) Chain of Custody certification.
The certification issued by Global Trust, the certifying body for the Alaska fishery, means that salmon species purchased by Morey's are from responsibly developed Alaskan ecosystem.
RFM Chain of Custody certification has been awarded after clearing a third party audit verifying adherence to the Chain of Custody standards.
Morey's has also received certifications from the British Retail Consortium, Marine Stewardship Council, and the Aquaculture Stewardship Council.
Morey's Seafood International president Jim Walstrom said that the FAO-Based Responsibility Fisheries Management Certification serves as a model within the seafood industry.
"Morey's is proud to add RFM to our stable of certifications for both of our Minnesota based facilities. This makes Morey's Golden Valley Distribution center the only full line seafood distributor in Minnesota with RFM Chain of Customer certification."
The company is a member of the Global Aquaculture Alliance, and partners with the National Fisheries Institute, The Shrimp Council, and the Seafood Nutrition Partnership.
Morey's specializes in the manufacture, marketing and distribution of seafood entrées under Morey's Fish Creations and Shrimp Creations brands.
