Our vertically integrated value chain guarantees our commitment to freshness, food safety and premium quality – from our own fish feed formulation, hatchery, farms and processing facility to point of sale.
Product traceability in real-time (SAP) is enabled by the LOT number (Line-Of-Travel sequence) highlighted on each of our products. The LOT number contains information about the broodstock of fish from Cromaris’s hatchery, the location of cultivation, the type of food the fish were fed at each stage of the breeding cycle, as well as information about the processing process until the products are delivered to customers and, in collaboration with some customers, to end consumers. Fish are caught six days a week, and from catching and sorting to delivery to domestic and foreign markets, an optimal cold chain from 0 to 2°C is ensured. Additionally, QR codes on innovative SKIN and cardboard packaging on gourmet products allow for a virtual tour of the farm, so consumers can explore the conditions of fish farming in this way.
Product traceability, organic farming, antibiotic-free farming, and the alignment of Cromaris’s farming and processing with sustainability goals are also confirmed by certificates based on verification by independent external experts. Our suppliers of raw materials, fry, and fish feed must also be certified by independent certification bodies according to the GlobalG.A.P. standard. Raw materials used in organic farming must be certified according to the requirements of the standards confirming organic origin. Cromaris’s educated employees regularly conduct checks to ensure compliance with the requirements of each of the standards according to the plan of internal audits.
