Salmon farmers set up ‘unique fingerprint’ to fight food fraudA salmon farming company has joined forces with traceability experts, creating unique fingerprints to verify the origin of their fish. Loch Duart produces 5,200 tonnes of salmon per year. Loch Duart, an independent salmon farming company based in Sutherland and the Hebrides, is taking the fight to food fraudsters to protect the reputation of its world renowned salmon. The business has teamed up with Oritain, experts in scientifically proving the origin of food products, to prevent food fraudsters from passing off other salmon as Loch Duart’s. Oritain’s testing measures trace elements that occur naturally at each farm and are absorbed by the fish raised there. |
