Responsibly sourced salmon
As many wild fish stocks decline, we believe that fish farming is part of the solution. IKEA salmon comes from Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) certified farms. This way, the salmon feed is more sustainable, the fish are protected from disease with little or no need for chemicals and antibiotics – and the farms minimize their impact on the local environment.
Serving up Scandinavian seafood dishes
The icy salt waters of Scandinavia have provided nutritious and tasty seafood for countless generations. Salmon and shrimp feature in traditional dishes throughout Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. Today, we’re working to share these tasty traditions with the world, while helping to protect the future of our oceans and its sea life for many generations to come.
Take salmon for example. Together with our suppliers, we’ve helped pioneer responsible practices and standards for salmon farming around the world. Our suppliers use energy and waste-efficient facilities, traceable and responsibly sourced feed, and farming methods proven to decrease environmental impact – all this while securing food quality. They’re also partnering with environmental NGOs to continuously improve the efficiency and impact of their work.
Influencing change
Since 2015 all IKEA salmon and shrimp is Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) or Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified, which means it meets strict social and environmental standards. “IKEA was involved with creating standards for responsible fish farming from the beginning,” says Hans-Fredrik Pedersen, who works with one of our salmon suppliers. “IKEA has the power and the will to make changes for a better future. When it comes to environmental responsibility, other companies can learn from them.”
Offering the world Scandinavian classics
“It's truly been rewarding to be a part of IKEA serving these Scandinavian-style dishes all over the world,” Hans-Fredrik says. “We are very happy to have been a part of that journey.” Ultimately, we want our salmon and shrimps to be more than simply good-tasting seafood. For us, it’s about offering our customers something that will make them feel good inside.

Delicacies from Scandinavia's cold seas
It’s from the cold Scandinavian seas that we get the salmon and the peeled shrimps in the SJÖRAPPORT series, tasty food that can be used in many different hot and cold dishes. Salmon and shrimps served in various ways is a Swedish classic, and is a given for parties, but also for everyday meals. Fresh, tasty and versatile food – which is even better since our salmon and shrimps are ASC or MSC certified.
