Marine raw materials used for the production of Waitrose fish feeds must come from managed fisheries or be produced from trimmings from fish caught for human consumption.
We expect all wild-caught species used for the production of fish meal and oil to meet the objectives of the Waitrose Responsible Seafood (Fisheries) Sourcing Programme to ensure that we don’t source fish-feed ingredients from unsustainable sources. All marine ingredients used in the production of Waitrose salmon and trout are from MSC or MarinTrust-certified stocks or are in a Fisheries Improvement Project.
Fishmeal and fish oil in aquaculture feeds must only be sourced from marine ingredient producers or fisheries that are certified to a third-party standard we recognise or in a credible Fishery Improvement Project that will lead to certification.
