Major outbreaks at some of the world's largest Alaska-based processors in recent weeks are making it challenging to process key frozen product forms despite some of the companies hit by COVID outbreaks restarting production, several Alaska pollock producers confirmed with IntraFish.
Recent COVID outbreaks at major processing operations, including at Nippon Suisan Kaisha's (Nissui) UniSea, Maruha Nichiro-owned Alyeska Seafoods and Trident Seafoods, have caused disruptions in the production of critical product forms used by European frozen foods producers and fast food giants, among other key customers.
