Fermented Cod Liver Oil Certified From Sea to Spoon
Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification has been part of Green Pasture’s Fermented Cod Liver Oil story for years, reflecting our long-standing commitment to sourcing environmentally sustainable marine ingredients that can be traced back to another certified business.
The MSC is a global non-profit organization recognized for its work supporting environmentally sustainable wild-capture fisheries and chain of custody standards. In simple terms, MSC certification helps verify that the cod used comes from well-managed wild fisheries, meaning the fish are harvested from their natural ocean environment rather than raised in fish farms.
Green Pasture and its manufacturing partners completed the MSC’s rigorous certification process through independent third-party auditing under the MSC Chain of Custody Standard. The Chain of Custody Standard is designed to help track ingredients throughout the supply chain, from the certified fishery to the finished product. This process helps ensure accountability from sea to spoon.
Green Pasture remains one of a limited number of cod liver oil companies to maintain MSC certification across its sourcing and manufacturing chain for Fermented Cod Liver Oil products. Annual audits and ongoing verification are part of maintaining the certification and ensuring continued compliance with MSC standards.
The growing interest in sustainably sourced marine oils reflects a broader consumer desire to support sustainable fishing practices and healthy ocean ecosystems for future generations. MSC certification aligns closely with Green Pasture’s long-standing focus on traditional methods, thoughtful sourcing, and whole-food marine oils.
Unlike many industrial extraction methods used throughout the fish oil industry, Green Pasture continues to use a traditional fermentation process to gently separate the oil from cod livers while preserving the naturally occurring nutrient profile found within the oil.
