Mega Sardines
This site features interesting topics about the MEGA brand. It is here where one can can learn about the "catching to canning" process of MEGA in order to produce one of the best tasting and highest quality sardines brand in the market , aside from other products ,services, and career opportunities of Mega Fishing Corporation.

Other fishing companies use the traditional technique of shovels and tubs to store and transport the fish catch to the canning plant. Such a technique unnecessarily extends the exposure of the fish catch to the elements, where exposure results to temperature increases creating undesirable histamine levels that cause allergies when the fish is consumed. On the other hand, Mega Fishing Corporation (MFC) takes pride in being the first company in the whole of Asia to use the fish pump technology as opposed to the traditional method of using shovels to move the fish into storage compartments in the carrier ships. Because there is no need to use shovels on the fish, the fish pump technology allows less handling of fish by the fishing crew.

The pursuit of freshness and food safety, however, does not stop with the fish pump. The freshness of the catch must be preserved during transport to the canning plant. As such, as opposed to the traditional method of using tubs packed with ice, Mega Fishing Corporation uses insulated plastic storage bins to maintain fish temperature at 0 degrees, thereby locking in freshness. In net, the use of the fish pump and insulated plastic storage bins are some of the world class technologies that Mega Fishing Corporation has invested in to bring to the market the freshest sardines possible.

As a further testament to the quest for quality and food safety, Ayala Seafoods Corporation, the canning plant of Mega Sardines, has been certified ISO 22000 - the first sardines manufacturer in the Philippines to be given such a distinction. The ISO 22000 certification recognizes the ability of Ayala

    May 2007 to April 2009 Update Over the past two years, AFC has faced more intense competition, particularly from aquaculturists in Chile. In addition, Chilean output has increased the supply of salmon and the Canadian dollar has strengthened in relation to the U.S. dollar. As a result, AFC has been unable to meet its budgeted revenue targets. Stocks of unsold harvestable fish have increased, as well as the corresponding cost of maintaining the fish, and the company barely made a profit in fiscal 2009. In January 2009, AFC lost one of its largest retail customers, S&F Seafood, to a new salmon aquaculture firm, Nu-Farm Inc. This new competitor uses a sophisticated, computerized system for supply chain and product distribution functions. The system allows Nu-Farm to establish web links with customers, such as S&F Seafood, and to manage orders and deliveries directly for each of the customer’s retail outlets. This has eliminated the need for customers to make separate arrangements to receive and warehouse fresh fish, and to ultimately distribute the fish to their retail locations. In February 2009, 2,000 kilograms of fish from Site 4 were rejected by three important customers, two of which are located in the United States. An internal investigation revealed that two employees at Site 4 had neglected to follow established procedures and failed to reject some fish that did not meet quality standards and were not certified by the staff veterinarian. In April 2009, employees neglected to secure some of the net-pens at Site 3. During a storm, more than 300,000 kilograms of young fish escaped from these net-pens and most were subsequently lost to predators. Although the company’s property and liability insurance covers criminal theft of fish, it does not cover the loss of fish from disease, parasites, escape, or predators. In addition, there is no liability coverage with…

    According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, 75% of the world’s fish species are overexploited or depleted. In addition, US catfish farms are self-contained and are not subjected to pollution. Aside from sustainability, imported catfish has been on the minds of Alabama farmers. Catfish from Vietnam and China has flooded the market in the last few years; the problem with this is that many foreign countries allow chemicals and drugs that are banned by the United States in farmed-raised catfish. According to the Catfish Farmers of America among the two percent of seafood imports from Vietnam inspected by the FDA during a recent a four-year period, nearly one and every five seafood shipments, including catfish, was contaminated with these potentially deadly chemicals or drugs. These contaminated shipments are a major cause of the recent COOL (Country of Origin Labeling) procedures. US farm-raised catfish is one of the most carefully inspected, regulated, and controlled proteins you can buy; a statement that catfish farmers stand on and are proud…
