Momentum behind ASC Feed Certification continues to build as leading players ramp up responsible feed production. From January to mid-July 2025, 18 feed mills across twelve different countries achieved certification against the ASC Feed Standard, taking a positive step to drive real change in seafood farming.
This includes the first feed mills – all Skretting sites – achieving ASC Feed Certification in Australia, Japan and Italy.
This wave of certifications marks a continuing shift in the aquaculture industry. ASC certified feed producers are more directly addressing the environmental and social impacts embedded in their supply chains – from the responsible sourcing of ingredients like soy and fishmeal, to ensuring fair labour practices.
‘By choosing ASC Feed Certification and meeting the rigorous environmental and social requirements of the ASC Feed Standard, these feed companies are making real change and driving full-chain responsibility. We congratulate all recently certified feed mills on their achievements and look forward to seeing the positive impact they have on the industry,’ said Aisla Jones, Feed Engagement & UK Markets Manager at ASC.
‘This marks another important step in our mission of transforming the industry. We recognise there is still progress to be made, and we remain focused on driving it forward.’
She commented that the message is clear – that the future of farmed seafood must be built on responsible feed.
This takes the total to 35 feed mills across 14 countries globally that have achieved ASC Feed certification. ASC certified farms have until 31st October 2025 to ensure they are using ASC conforming feed from feed mills that are certified against the ASC Feed Standard. The use of ASC conforming feed is necessary for ASC certified farms to meet the ASC Farm Standard and retain their certification.
