Our Commitment to Quality and Sustainability
Our Certifications
Seven Seas International USA is MSC certified, IFS Food certified, and Global GAP certified—demonstrating our commitment to sustainable fishing practices, food safety excellence, and responsible aquaculture.
What Sets Us Apart
Supplier Qualification & Auditing
Our quality assurance process starts before procurement. Before establishing supplier relationships, we conduct comprehensive audits evaluating:
Sustainability: MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) certification for wild-caught species
Social Responsibility: ASC (Aquaculture Stewardship Council) or SA 8000 compliance
Food Safety: IFS Grade A or BRC Higher Level certification
Supplier partnerships are contingent upon meeting these internationally recognized benchmarks. This rigorous qualification process ensures consistent product quality for our retail customers.
Comprehensive Quality Control Protocols
Seven Seas employs a dual-verification quality control system that distinguishes us from standard industry practices. We maintain dedicated and independent quality control personnel in each sourcing country, providing 100% production oversight. Our local teams in Vietnam, China, Indonesia, and Europe monitor every production run, enabling immediate identification and resolution of quality deviations.
This on-site presence is complemented by our laboratory testing program, where all of our products undergo analysis by internationally certified laboratories. This combined approach—continuous human oversight paired with scientific verification—ensures strict compliance before products enter distribution channels.
Sustainability Implementation
Our direct engagement with fishing communities and aquaculture operations supports measurable sustainability initiatives including selective fishing methodologies that reduce bycatch, complete traceability from harvest to final product, third-party verified labor practices, and optimized cold chain logistics that minimize waste and energy consumption.
Our vertically integrated structure—encompassing sourcing, processing, and distribution—enables quality and sustainability oversight throughout the supply chain rather than at isolated checkpoints. This comprehensive approach ensures that Seven Seas products consistently meet our standards for quality, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility.
