USA Kosher Supplier Manischewitz Achieves Friend of the Sea Certification
(UNITED STATES, 1/28/2013)
The Manischewitz Company has successfully undergone Friend of the Sea audit of its sustainable fish suppliers and chain of custody verification. Manischewitz anchovies, sardines and mackerel products can now carry the international sustainability seal of approval.
The status of the stocks of anchovies (Engraulis encrasicolus) sardines (Sardinas pilchardus) and mackerel (Scomber scombrus) from which Manischewitz is sourcing are verified periodically by the Agriculture and Fishery Ministry and are found to be not overexploited (FAO AREA 34). Purse seine fishing does not impact the seabed and it is very selective.
