Here at Bidfood we are proud to stock a range of MSC certified fish and seafood, ensuring our business and our customers can support sustainable fisheries, helping our oceans thrive and safeguarding seafood on our menus for the future.
So why choose MSC?
1. Our oceans need to be protected
Our oceans are home to an amazing variety of life and support the livelihoods of millions – up to 10% of the world’s population.
2. Marine ecosystems are under enormous pressure
Unsustainable fishing is threatening fish populations, ocean habitats, coastal fishing communities and economies.
3. The MSC provides a solution
By purchasing and serving seafood with the blue MSC label you are supporting independently certified sustainable fisheries. Their good management practices help ensure fish stocks and habitats are healthy and fishing community livelihoods are secure.
4. Sustainability is based on science
To be MSC certified, fisheries are independently assessed by scientists and marine experts to ensure they meet strict standards for environmentally sustainable fishing.
5. You’re helping to protect a whole ecosystem
It’s not all about one species – MSC certified fisheries minimise their impacts on the whole marine environment to ensure healthy, thriving oceans for the future.
6. You can buy and serve with confidence
Processors and sellers must ensure MSC certified seafood is not mixed with uncertified products. This way you can be sure that the product is correctly labelled.
7. There’s plenty to choose from!
A vast array of species are MSC certified, this means you have a wide variety to choose from, meaning no restrictions to your menu.
8. There’s a choice for every budget
Products with the blue MSC label range from pickled herring to luxury caviar, there’s an offering for every menu!
9. You’re helping to create change
Your purchases of MSC labelled seafood creates an incentive for more fisheries to produce and sell certified sustainable seafood.
10. You’re helping to keep it wild
You can enjoy keeping your menu alive with a variety of seafood knowing that tomorrow there will be plenty more where it came from.
