IFFO Standard

EFFOP is committed to following the Code of Practice developed by the International Fishmeal and Fish Oil Organization (IFFO).

The ongoing success of IFFO, and the worldwide fishmeal and fish oil industry it represents, depends upon the maintenance of its reputation for supporting integrity, ethical corporate behaviour, customer safety and strong environmental standards.

To safeguard IFFO’s reputation from any inappropriate behavior by its members, protective measures are in place. The IFFO board retains the constitutional right to take action if a member’s conduct brings, or is likely to bring, the reputation of IFFO Limited into disrepute, or if the member violates the agreed Code of Conduct.

EFFOP also commits to the following:

1. EFFOP members actively support and implement the FAO code of conduct for responsible fisheries. Recognizing the need for diverse protein sources in agriculture and aquaculture feed to meet global food demand, EFFOP emphasizes that alternatives must be equally responsible and traceable.
2. Furthermore, EFFOP members prioritise sourcing raw materials from certified fish stocks, such as MarinTrust or MSC. MSC certification is also endorsed by GSSI’s Global Benchmark Tool for seafood certification schemes. EFFOP members adhere to MarinTrust requirements for production and sourced fish, ensuring third-party inspections, certification, full traceability, and responsible production practices.
