In the context of Vietnamese consumers increasingly focusing on health and product quality, Norwegian salmon has become the top choice on many families’ dining tables.

With the mission of bringing the best salmon products to consumers, Kome88 is proud to be the leading importer of Norwegian salmon in Vietnam, always seeking reputable and high-quality partners. SalMar, one of the leading names in the salmon farming industry, is a partner that Kome88 fully trusts and collaborates with closely to bring internationally certified products to the Vietnamese market.

When it comes to Norwegian salmon, quality and safety are always key factors. To meet the highest standards, SalMar’s salmon – one of the top salmon producers – has continually strived and achieved significant international certifications. These certifications not only ensure food safety but also affirm SalMar’s commitment to the environment and social responsibility. SalMar’s activities are closely monitored, not only by certification organizations but also by the government and regulatory bodies.

ASC Certification – Commitment to the Environment

ASC (Aquaculture Stewardship Council) is an international non-profit organization that sets the strictest sustainability standards in the aquaculture industry. Founded in 2012, ASC’s mission is to promote sustainable and environmentally responsible development in the industry. ASC-certified salmon not only ensures sustainability but also meets over 400 rigorous audit criteria. At SalMar, we are proud to have earned this certification, providing consumers with peace of mind when choosing salmon products from responsible farmers.

BRCGS Certification – Leading Food Safety

BRCGS is one of the world’s leading global standards for food safety, established in 1996. This standard sets strict requirements for safety, quality, and legal compliance throughout the food production process, from farming to when the product reaches the consumer. At SalMar, facilities such as InnovaMar and InnovaNor are BRCGS-certified, ensuring optimal safety and quality for every salmon product.

Debio/KRAV Organic Salmon Certification

SalMar is one of the world’s leading producers of organic salmon, with production processes strictly adhering to EU organic standards and audited by Debio – Norway’s organic certification body. Our organic salmon is raised in a sustainable environment, using feed sourced from sustainable fisheries without harmful chemical interventions. Each organic salmon product from SalMar reflects our strong commitment to the environment and consumer health.

Strict Control Process and Organic Standards Compliance

SalMar is committed to maintaining transparency and compliance with the strictest organic standards throughout the entire production chain. The entire process, from fish farming, care, feeding, to harvesting, processing, and sales, is thoroughly verified by independent certification bodies, with annual audits and controls. In Norway, this process is overseen by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority and Debio – the leading organic agriculture certification body, with approval code NS-EN 45011, ISO 65. SalMar’s organic salmon products are certified according to the “Debio” standard, fully complying with EU regulations as well as Sweden’s KRAV organic standards.

Strict Criteria for SalMar Organic Salmon

• Ideal stocking density: No more than 10 kg of salmon per cubic meter, ensuring comfortable living space.
• Marine nutrition regime: Organic salmon is fed with fishmeal sourced from MSC-certified sustainable fisheries.
• Natural methods: SalMar uses cleaner fish to control sea lice instead of chemicals.
• Clean environment: Farming nets do not use copper-containing antifouling agents, minimizing negative environmental impacts.
• Pharmaceutical management: If treatment is needed, the withdrawal period is double that of conventional salmon to ensure absolute safety.
• Environmental monitoring: Organic farming sites must remain fallow for at least four months after harvest, compared to two months at conventional sites, to allow the natural environment to recover.

Global GAP Certification – Global Standard

The Global GAP standard is the global benchmark for responsible farming practices, covering the entire production chain from broodstock to harvest and transportation. This standard not only ensures food safety but also focuses on animal welfare, environmental protection, and worker rights. SalMar is proud that our entire production chain is Global GAP-certified, reinforcing our position in sustainable aquaculture.

IFS Certification – Leading Safety and Quality

IFS is an international standard developed by major retailers in Germany, France, and Italy to ensure food safety and quality throughout the supply chain. SalMar’s facilities, including InnovaMar and InnovaNor, are IFS-certified, reaffirming our commitment to delivering safe, high-quality products to customers worldwide.
