Sustainable Seafood

Maintaining healthy oceans and viable, sustainable marine ecosystems is an important priority for Gordon Food Service.

Healthy oceans and abundant fish and shellfish populations are not simply the first step in our seafood supply chain--they are the foundation of our entire seafood program. Gordon Food Service is committed to working with seafood suppliers who practice responsible, sustainable, science-based fishing practices. Our suppliers know their fish. Our suppliers know where and how each species is caught, how their fisheries are managed, and are committed to maintaining abundant fish stocks. They do this by closely monitoring the fish stocks and analyzing information about their catch, and will respond to scientific data by adjusting harvest levels quickly and effectively. We are committed to steady deliveries of high-quality products that meet the specifications of our customers, and satisfy their consumers. Working with responsible, science-based fisheries generates more fish over time and puts more healthy seafood on the plate year after year. It’s good business. It’s good for the ocean, and it’s good for the planet.

Gordon Food Service has earned Chain of Custody Certification from the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC). These organizations set environmental standards for seafood based on the sustainability of fish stocks, minimal impact on the ecosystem, and responsible fisheries management. The Chain of Custody Standard ensures traceability of seafood back to a certified source. This allows our customers to be confident they are procuring and marketing seafood on their menus that meet expectations established by MSC for wild caught seafood and ASC for farmed seafood.

In addition to MSC and ASC offerings, Gordon Food Service also offers items with other notable sustainability endorsements such as Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP), Responsible Fisheries Management (RFM), and U.S. Domestic offerings managed under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
