Producers who share the same values
The Association of Label Rouge Aquatic Products, Aqualabel, came into being in 2005 to represent the management bodies (ODGs) which own a Label Rouge quality standard. Aqualabel is the contact point for the public authorities and FedeLIS – the Federation for products holding Label Rouge, PGI and STG. Its main objectives are:
- Promotional and communication activities for Label Rouge seafood and aquaculture products
