Many people buy salmon in the shop. Packages show codes and marks. They show the home of the fish. Foodwatch tests 84 products in Austria. The result is bad.
Only 3 products show the exact farm. 26 products have no information. 55 products have unclear information. The marks do not keep their promise.
The codes show only shops. Sometimes they show 44 different farms. This does not help the buyer. Foodwatch says: This misleads the customers.
Much salmon comes from Aqua-Kulturen. This is fish farming in the water. There are many problems. The fish often suffer or die. Foodwatch asks for better rules.
