In December 2024, Mowi Feed has achieved ASC feed certification for both its facilities in Scotland and Norway. Operating out of Kyleakin on the east coast of the Isle of Skye, Scotland, and Valsneset in central-western Norway, respectively, their state-of-the-art feed mills produce feed for salmon. Both ASC feed certifications for Mowi Feed reflect further progress for responsible salmon farming in the UK and Norway.

Cargill (EWOS) Canada was another addition to the list of ASC certified aquafeed mills and the first in Canada. Their feed mill, operating out of Surrey, British Columbia, produces feed for a variety of species, including trout, salmon, seabass, seabream and meagre, seriola, cobia and tilapia.

There are now 16 units of certification in the ASC Feed program (comprising 22 individual certified feed mill sites) across numerous countries including Canada, Chile, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Norway, Thailand, Vietnam and the UK, displaying the strong global uptake of the ASC feed certification program.

A diverse mix of multinational and regional companies have achieved ASC Feed certification showing that complying with its robust requirements is accessible and achievable. With numerous further feed companies in the initial audit phase, 2025 is already shaping up to be another strong year of ASC Feed Certification uptake.

ASC-certified farms have until October 31, 2025, to ensure their feed supply is ASC-conforming – in other words, feed produced by mills that are certified against the ASC Feed Standard. The use of ASC-conforming feed is necessary for ASC-certified farms to continue meeting the ASC Farm Standard and retain their certification.
