According to the packaging, almost all the fish are caught with trawls, which is not acceptable! You can't buy it with a clear conscience.

Then stop buying sea fish. You can get the healthy omega 3 fatty acids from vegetable oils and not just from fish. And sea fish is also contaminated with mercury.

Yoliboli is right. Omega 3 fatty acids are also found in soy, nuts, vegetables and cooking oils. If you can't justify eating fish, you have a wide range of alternatives with omega 3 fatty acids :)

Unfortunately, soy is also problematic. But that's another topic.

It's good that you mentioned the mercury issue. If not poison, then only organic vegetable oils!

Why do you think soy is problematic? Would you like to explain that to me? You should just buy Swiss organic soy, or at least organic, right?

Exactly, it is genetically modified food. In addition, deforestation and co2 during transportation etc.etc. There is nothing wrong with organic CH soy (!). Unfortunately, there are still too few growers.
Hello Sovaglia, thank you very much for your contribution. I have just received feedback from the specialist agency. The MSC assesses every fishery regardless of the fishing method used. There are various trawls that can be used for fishing. As a rule, pelagic nets and bottom trawls are used. The former generally do not touch the seabed and therefore have little negative impact. The bottom trawl is suitable for fishing on or near the seabed where the flatfish, cod or saithe are found. These nets can have a significant impact on the seabed and the organisms living on and in it. However, there are differences between the different types of bottom trawls and some bottoms are more sensitive than others. Gear modifications can reduce these impacts of bottom trawls, such as optimized design, lightweight net materials or trawl boards, for example. Therefore, each fishery is assessed individually for its impact on the environment and is only MSC-certified if it has a minimal impact. Best regards, Tabea

Thank you very much, Tabea, for this well-founded answer. Unfortunately, not everyone adheres to these measures, and it is almost impossible to prove everything, even if it is MSC-certified. The fact is that overfishing in the oceans is a huge problem and not enough is being done about it.

Hello everyone, I would like to ease your concerns about Migros products: You won't find any genetically modified soy in our range. Kind regards, Tabea

Hi Sovaglia Thank you for your feedback. I can understand your concerns. The assessment of a fishery is carried out by independent certifiers. The MSC develops the fishery standard with the involvement of various stakeholders - the certification companies check whether fisheries meet this standard. This third-party assessment system is currently considered best practice among credible certification programs. Possible conflicts of interest are limited by various control mechanisms. As the most important seller of fish and seafood in Switzerland, Migros joined the WWF Seafood Group in 2008. In doing so, we are making a valuable contribution to protecting the oceans. Migros made a commitment to switch to sustainable fishing and environmentally friendly farming and to exclude highly endangered species from its product range. In 2012, we made the Generation M pledge to source all our fish from sustainable sources by 2020. This means that all seafood products must be classified as "recommendable" or "acceptable" according to the WWF. The promise was implemented early on and since October 2016, 100% of our fish and seafood has come from sustainable sources. Kind regards, Angela
