Losing the Marine Stewardship Council eco-label isn't hurting Norwegian cod prices, research finds

'There is little or no price difference in the primary market for MSC-certified cod,' according to a new study by Norwegian food research institute Nofima.

'The loss of MSC certification for cod fished within 12 nautical miles has not led to a lower price for this cod,' said senior researcher Geir Sogn-Grundvag at Nofima.
