Young's has welcomed the FSA’s decision yesterday to restate its ‘eat two portions of fish a week for health’ advice and to update it by adding a ‘choose responsibly sourced’ message.

Director of sustainability, James Turton, says, “We are delighted that the FSA has confirmed its commitment to the health benefits of eating fish twice a week and particularly welcome the addition of advice on sustainability.”

He continues, “The FSA’s advice chimes perfectly with our own position that it is possible to balance the Two a Week recommendation with a commitment to sustainable seafood and we continue to promote both issues to consumers through our products.”

Young's has a longstanding commitment to sustainable fisheries and sources all its own fish according to strict responsible sourcing criteria under its award-winning ‘Fish for Life’ programme. In the UK consumers can find Fish for Life highlighted on every Young’s Seafood product.

Young's is part of the Findus Group which in the UK is also parent to own label producer, The Seafood Company, as well as the wider Findus frozen food brand in Europe.
