Norwegian salmon "Elaboré in Poland"

Norwegischer Lachs „Elaboré in Polen“

Dear Migros Is the salmon really from a Norwegian farm and not from Poland? In addition, Norway does not have an Atlantic coast, there is the North Sea. The packaging shows the origin Norway with picture and name, the declaration shows: Poland. Is the salmon not 100% from Norway, or is this only declared in Polish because of the "packaging"? The packaging does not change the raw product. How should the consumer understand this now? For me an important question, because I only like Norwegian salmon, which is clearly better than the "usual" Atlantic salmon. I look forward to your feedback!

Smoking changes the raw product, the whole raw salmon (frozen?) is brought from Norway to Poland and smoked, cut and packaged there. That's how I understand it.

Hi Maldives68, thanks for the question. Atlantic salmon is a term for all salmon species that are mainly caught in the North Atlantic and have the Latin name Salmo salar. Species that belong to it are: European salmon or Atlantic salmon, Irish salmon, Scottish salmon, Norwegian salmon, Icelandic salmon. Atlantic salmon from Norwegian farming / aquaculture is used for this article. The salmon is processed and packaged in Poland. The processing steps have led to the production of a new product, therefore the country of production is Poland. Kind regards, Matteo
