Quality you can trust
Certifications & Food Safety
Food safety is not just an obligation — it is at the core of our business. From receiving fresh fish to finished product, we follow strict standards that ensure every single fish meets the highest demands for quality and hygiene.
Our certifications, certificates and regulatory oversight guarantee that our customers — whether in Norway or Italy — can trust that our products are safe, traceable and of the highest quality.
Our certifications and certificates
HACCP
Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points
Our entire production process is governed by a HACCP-based internal control system. All critical control points — from receiving and temperature monitoring to storage and distribution — are systematically monitored to prevent any food safety risk.
PGI
Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) Certificate
Stockfish from Lofoten holds Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) — an EU certificate guaranteeing the product is produced in Lofoten using traditional methods. This protection is on par with Parmigiano Reggiano and Balsamico di Modena.
Mattilsynet
Norwegian Food Safety Authority
Our production is subject to regular inspections by Mattilsynet, Norway's food safety authority. Inspections cover hygiene, temperature control, labelling and traceability throughout the entire value chain.
Traceability
Openness through the value chain
The Norwegian seafood industry is strictly regulated, and traceability is an important part of both the regulations and our own quality work. We work to ensure the fish can be followed through the value chain — from the raw material arriving at our facility to the finished product leaving our warehouse.
The steps of production are documented along the way, giving us a good overview of each product's history — from reception, through drying and maturing, to grading and packing.
For our export customers, this means documentation for import, customs clearance and food safety can be provided when needed — and for our lutefisk customers in retail and food service, it provides assurance of origin and quality in every delivery.
