    The benefits

    1. Seafood with the blue MSC fish tick can be traced back to a sustainable source. Independent surveillance audits and DNA testing prove this.
    2. The blue MSC fish tick represents the world’s most recognised and market-leading seafood certification scheme as endorsed by GSSI and the UN FAO.
    3. Research shows consumers most trust scientists and NGOs to tackle ocean health and independent certification increases consumer trust in brands.
