We were a Founding Member of the Global Aquaculture Alliance (GAA), an international, nonprofit trade association dedicated to advancing environmentally and socially responsible aquaculture and a safe supply of seafood to meet growing world food needs.

Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certification standards require companies to comprehensively address environmental and social responsibility, animal welfare, food safety, and traceability throughout their operations. Currently, all of SeaPak’s aquaculture products come from BAP–certified sources.

Today, 100% of SeaPak’s aquaculture products are sourced from suppliers who are at least 2-star BAP-certified or higher. We are progressing toward a goal of procuring all products from suppliers who have achieved the top level of 4-star BAP certification.

85% of our shrimp products are processed in our plant in Brownsville, TX, which is certified by the British Retail Consortium (BRC), the global retail authority that establishes benchmarks for best quality and safety practices within the food industry. The remaining 15% of our product is produced in two other countries – Ecuador and Thailand – to maintain authenticity and quality.

SeaPak sources wild-caught seafood from suppliers certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) or equivalent. MSC is the world’s leading certification body for sustainable, wild-caught seafood. We support the nonprofit international organization’s goal “to transform the world’s seafood markets and promote sustainable seafood practices.”
