– It is the second store in Magallanes to receive this distinction, which recognizes establishments that promote good fishing practices and responsible consumption, encouraging these, as well as the traceability of products. 

March 5, 2024. Blumar’s first store and experience center, Mercado Blumar, reached a new achievement by obtaining the Blue Seal from the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service (Sernapesca). This is a recognition of establishments that sell seafood resources and products that support sustainability, ensuring legal origin and compliance with fishing regulations.

With this milestone, Mercado Blumar reaffirms its commitment to the sustainability of fishing resources, supporting Sernapesca’s effort to promote legal fishing and encourage consumers to adopt good practices. “This seal allows us to identify that the products have correct and complete traceability and, therefore, encourages the responsible consumption of seafood products,” said the head of finished products at Salmones Blumar Magallanes, Triana González. 

The regional director(s) of Sernapesca Magallanes, Elizabeth Godoy, highlighted that “Mercado Blumar is the second store that has been awarded with the Blue Seal in Magallanes.” The above is very relevant, since is the company’s first experience selling directly to people in Chile in a space that seeks to promote the responsible consumption of sea products.

For her part, the Mercado Blumar store manager, Trinidad Amezaga, stated that “this milestone is very important for us. With this distinction, consumers can know that our products have complete traceability.” Also, she valued that “the store has allowed us to bring our premium standard products to the communities of Magallanes, and serve as a space for various culinary and educational activities. The Blue Seal is a new impetus to continue serving the community.”
