IFFO opens up its widely-recognized fishmeal, fish oil certification standard to non-members
SEAFOOD.COM NEWS April 2, 2014
The International Fishmeal and FishOil Organization (IFFO) will open up its standard to non-IFFO members.
In 2009 IFFO and the Marine Ingredients Organisation launched its Global Standard for Responsible Supply (IFFO RS) which has since become the most recognised standard for the responsible supply of fishmeal and fish oil with around 40% of world production certified.
And in a meeting between IFFO Board of Directors it was agreed to open up the standard to non-IFFO members.
