Ocado ASC Cooked King Prawns, Peeled & Ready to Eat.
Sweet, succulent, and versatile, warm water king prawns are a tasty, low fat and
easy to cook protein source. They pair well with many main meal dishes such as
noodles, paella and linguine, or can be tossed into salads, wraps and curries.
As warm water king prawns are larger than cold water prawns, they provide a
satisfying bite, intense flavour and juicy texture.
The Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) logo provides an assurance of
provenance and quality, offering everyone the choice to make positive
environmentally and socially responsible choices when buying seafood.
ASC certified shrimp farms adhere to rigorous requirements to keep prawns safe
and healthy. This is achieved alongside minimising their impact on the local
ecosystem, environment and creating positive social impact.
Examples include:
* Minimising impact on their neighbouring ecosystem through partial restoration
of lost mangrove forest and ensuring farms are not sited in critical habitats.
* As prawn farming often occurs along coastal areas, a permanent coastal barrier
must be in place between the farm and the coastline, so as not to affect the
ecosystems of the coastal waters.
* Regularly monitoring water quality to ensure they adhere to strictly set
limits.
* Workers must be provided with health and safety training, a safe and equitable
working environment, decent wages and regulated working hours. The farm should
also be a good neighbour to local communities, proactively communicating with
them.
