Traceability<br />

At LSG we have full traceability from egg to completed slaughtered fish. Additionally an<br />

electronic tracking system is available where customers can upload a CV that contains<br />

all key information on the fish. Data found here includes information on feed type, fat<br />

content and colour in the fish and whether the fish has been treated against e.g.<br />

<strong>salmon</strong> lice. We also have full traceability on the raw materials used in the fish feed via<br />

the feed companies’ tracking system.<br />

Food safety<br />

All production companies that slaughter and process <strong>salmon</strong> in<br />

LSG are approved by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority<br />

(NFSA), which is the inspectorate authority in Norway. This<br />

authorisation is based on a HACCP (Hazard Analysis of Critical<br />

Control Points) system and the NFSA issues a separate HACCP<br />

certificate. Most of our companies also have BRC approval<br />

(British Retail Consortium), which is a separate certification that<br />

concerns food safety.<br />

Quality Hallvard Lerøy also carries out its own audits and<br />

approval of the production companies.<br />

All farmed <strong>salmon</strong> in Norway are safe for consumers to eat. Where hygiene is concerned<br />

an extensive microbiological control regime is implemented in the companies and<br />

inspectorate authority. Foreign substances such as PCB, heavy metals are checked<br />

regularly. Any administering of medicines takes place in consultation with a veterinarian,<br />

retention periods are complied with. The national monitoring program for residue<br />

concentration of medicines in <strong>salmon</strong> (NIFES on assignment from the NFSA) have never<br />

found a level of medicines in slaughtered <strong>salmon</strong> that exceeds borderline values.<br />
