Norwegian businesses illegally exporting farmed salmon with wounds and deformities

A Norwegian Food Safety Authority inspection found many businesses do not meet the requirements of the country's fish quality regulations.

"Among other things, it has been discovered that farmed fish with wounds and deformities are sent out of the country, which is not permitted under the regulations," said Elisabeth Wilmann, director of the legal and international work department at the Norwegian Food Safety Authority.
