October 10, 2022
Performance Food Group Co., which owns Vistar, a national convenience services wholesale distributor, has introduced Bay Winds Fair Trade Certified Norwegian Salmon through a partnership with Beaver Street Fisheries, according to a press release. PFG has exclusive rights to distribute the only farmed salmon in the world that is Fair Trade Certified.
Salmon portions are delivered frozen in 10-pound packages and are packed in 4-ounce, 6-ounce or 8-ounce portions — skin-on or skinless.
A program of Fair Trade USA, Fair Trade Certified covers fundamental human rights, workplace safety and environmental stewardship while also providing a direct economic benefit to producers and their families.
Kvaroy Arctic, the producers of Bay Winds salmon, has helped build schools, introduced aquaculture education programs and created scholarship funds to promote farm sustainability, animal welfare and environmental protection.
