The Aquaculture Certification Council, Inc. was established to certify social, environmental and food safety standards at aquaculture facilities throughout the world. The ACC applies a certification system that combines site inspections and effluent sampling with sanitary controls, therapeutic controls and traceability. By implementing Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) standards, suppliers can better meet the demands of the growing global market for wholesome seafood produced in an environmentally and socially responsible manner.
Successful participation in the Best Aquaculture Practices program is visually represented by limited use of the BAP certification mark, which you’ll see displayed on our CSS shrimp products.
