Our Nutrition Commitment

At Youngs Seafood Limited we want to make nutrition accessible to everyone.

The following ten commitments define how we make ‘the healthy choice the easy choice’ for our consumers. Behind these top level commitments lie a detailed Nutrition Strategy and internal targets for product renovation and innovation.

1. We will continuously improve the nutritional content of our existing products and work closely with national authorities and experts to ensure we provide healthy, great tasting choices to our consumers.
2. We develop new products in line with our strict internal nutrition targets, developed with consumer health and government targets in mind.

3. All that we do in nutrition is based on sound scientific principles. We are proud of the developing programme of external research that we have in place to underpin the product benefits we communicate to our consumers.
4. We will always provide simple, easy to understand, and relevant information about the nutritional content and ingredients of our products. Nutrition information is provided per 100grams and per serving on all our products and many products carry Guideline Daily Amounts (GDAs) to enable consumers to make an informed choice at point of purchase.
5. We will highlight the nutritional benefits of our products, through positive nutrition claims where appropriate, to encourage consumers to make healthier choices.
6. We will provide consumers with easily accessible expert nutritional advice on all our products via packaging, websites and consumer care lines.
7. We are proud of our food and insist we have close relationships with our farmers and fisheries and always know the provenance of our ingredients.
8. We have an ongoing programme to reduce saturated fats in our products and make all our products with the healthiest possible oils, never adding artificial trans fats.
9. We only use natural or nature identical colours, flavours and sweeteners in our products and never use flavour enhancers, genetically modified ingredients or products of irradiation.
10. We know that a healthy, committed workforce is vital to our business success. We therefore actively promote a number of initiatives to improve the nutrition knowledge, health and wellbeing of our employees.
