Green Seafoods’s mGreen Seafoodsussel processing plant in Newfoundland, Canada, has earned Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certification, the Global Aquaculture Alliance announced.

The facility is a primary and secondary mussel processing plant, producing a wide range of value-added ready-to-eat blue mussel products. It is the first mussel processing plant that does both primary and secondary processing to earn BAP certification.

The company’s cooked frozen mussels are marketed to retail and foodservice customers worldwide under the Green Seafoods, High Liner Foods, Ocean Jewel and other brands.

In addition to BAP certification, Green Seafoods has also received Canadian Organic Certification for its mussel products.

“We are proud to have our company’s commitment to processing quality seafood recognized by receiving these BAP and organic certifications. And we are delighted to be the very first secondary mussel processing plant to receive BAP certification worldwide,” said Jennifer Green-Sheppard, Greens Seafoods VP of marketing. “When producing retail ready-to-eat secondary products, customers need to see your ongoing commitment to food safety and environmental responsibility, which these certifications provide. The support of Newfoundland Aquaculture Industry Association and the provincial government was greatly appreciated in achieving certification.”
