Ducktrap Earns Highest Level of Safe Quality Food Certification

Level 3 certification shows compliance with not only food safety standards but also includes a verified program for ensuring consistent product quality.

The majority of Ducktrap's salmon is sourced through its own farms in Scotland, Norway and Chile, giving the competitive advantage of full traceability from egg to plate

"The SQF Certification is a tremendous achievement that reflects a strong commitment from each of our outstanding employees. It's with great pride that I thank the entire Ducktrap team for making this industry distinction possible," says Don Cynewski , General Manager of Ducktrap River of Maine.
