Western Family Ocean Wise Sustainable Seafood
The Ocean Wise sustainable seafood program educates and empowers consumers about the issues surrounding overfishing. The Ocean Wise symbol on a seafood package means it’s ocean-friendly and by choosing to eat Ocean Wise seafood, consumers are helping to ensure the health of our oceans for generations to come. As a proud partner of the Ocean Wise program, Save-On-Foods is committed to providing sustainable, ocean-friendly seafood. We are excited to announce that all Western Family frozen prawns are now 100% sustainable and Ocean Wise recommended. These prawns have been farmed ethically, responsibly & sustainably! Shop online for the prawns here & check out the below recipes for a delicious sustainable meal! For more information about the Save-On-Foods partnership with the Ocean Wise program, click here.
