Australian Wild Prawns are “more than a prawn”. They are the Taste of the Wild. So – are seafood retailers selling what they say they are?
100% Yes.
345 samples of prawns marked Australian and/or indicating wild caught were analysed in the latest batch of prawn samples taken from retailers all around Australia by Source Certain over Dec-Jan 2022 as part of the ACPF/FRDC project with Curtin University. All 100% of those claiming to be Australian were Australian. Of the prawns labelled ‘wild caught’ (via species, fishery or MSC) all* were verified as Australian wild prawns.
Congratulations to Australian wild prawn seafood retailers for supporting the industry through truth in labelling.
