Frøya does not contain antibiotics
Frøya is made from Norwegian salmon and as such is free from antibiotics.
In the rare instances where salmon has to be prescribed antibiotics by a veterinarian, they are tested by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority prior to being harvested and sold into the market. This guarantees that no salmon sold contains antibiotics. Less than 2% of Norwegian salmon is treated with antibiotics. Antibiotic treatment in salmon production is reduced by 99 percent since 1987. Effective vaccines and preventative measures are the reasons why Norway’s aquaculture industry uses barely any antibiotics today.
