Shrimp You Can Trust?

"With ever increasing health and safety concerns about food sourced from places such as China, consumers are increasingly vigilant that the seafood and shrimp they buy is free of unwanted pollutants and chemicals, with certification to back its cleanliness and purity. Meeting that assurance, Blue Horizon Organic Seafood Co. will feature its certified organic “shrimp you can trust” at the upcoming Natural Foods Expo East in Baltimore, Maryland, Sept. 27-29.

Blue Horizon shrimp is raised in Naturland certified ponds in the north of Ecuador far from any industrial or human contamination. Naturland is the leader in organic aquaculture certification and certifies operations all around the world. Blue Horizon is working in conjunction with both Naturland and QAI, other companies, organizations like NFI (National Fisheries Institute) and the NOP task force to bring about USDA standards for organically raised seafood, which are expected to be in place in 2008."
