GFA Evaluation
Frozen pangasius (basa) fillet from Vietnam's Mekong Delta, farmed by Vinh Hoan Corporation -- the country's largest pangasius producer.
ASC (Aquaculture Stewardship Council) certified -- Vinh Hoan's Tan Hoa farm was the first pangasius farm in Vietnam to reach ASC certification (2012) -- plus BAP (Best Aquaculture Practices) 4-Star and GlobalGAP certification.
BAP's 4-star rating specifically audits the processing plant, hatchery, feed mill, and farm together, including labor-practice criteria at each stage -- a broader chain-of-custody standard than a single-site certification.
ASC, BAP, and GlobalGAP are all independently administered, third-party-audited certifications, publicly listed on each body's own registry.
