It appears to be made from roasted seeds. I'm not sure about whether it is whole seed or hulled.

The salmon is the first ingredient but does not say if it is farmed or wild. You can call the company at 1-800--2833 or go to BlueBuffalo.com Personally I hope it is farmed so that the wild caught salmon don't become extinct due to over fishing. Hope this helps.

I checked one of my cans. There are no animal products listed in the ingredients, however it does mention that they are produced in a facility that has fish and shellfish. As a vegan myself, this doesn't bother me, but for a person with fish or shellfish allergies, I might be concerned.

The label on mine says it is wild caught Portuguese mackerel. You might ask the company at www.colestrout.com about the specific type of mackerel.

I cannot say with certainty where this product came from, because I was not present at time of packaging, but it is produced from the Sea of Japan. I am also uncertain if the maker of this product farms the nori in treated sea water or not. I cannot find additional information on the net about possible mercury contamination, so I am consuming this brand of Nori in moderation (as recommended with all edible products from our oceans)I do taste a difference in this brand from local store bought, and it very pleasant. I hope this information helps. I am a bit cautious buying from overseas, but feel comfortable with this brand.Most sincerely.

To answer your question, the source of our collagen is from fresh water Tilapia, from the skin, wild caught, sourced in France and the product is produced in the U.S.A. in GMP certified facilities so the ingredients are held to strict high quality standards. Thank you.

There's a bigger environmental impact with krill than with anchovies and sardines which are more sustainably harvested. Just taking a quick look around, I haven't found any information that suggests one is better than the other.

If your choice has seed oils I think those are organic (I know the flax is for sure) The fish is fresh and I believe wild caught, but obviously from the ocean, so can't be certified organic. I did not see anything on the Barlean's website about the metals...

I am no expert but I do know that wild fisheries are managed by designating who can fish what area and when as well as other restrictions. I lived in Port Orford, Oregon and the fishers and crabbers faced a long list or rules and licenses if they wanted to fish legally. I think fish farms should be made illegal since all use corn meal to excess which cause fish to turn out excessively high levels of arachidonic acid that is toxic to human health. Better managed wild fisheries could return us back to the high annual catches we used to have decades ago more cheaply than we are experiencing now with much healthier fish as well.

The inside label states that they use wild caught krill and cod, never farm raised. Also, the butter oil is from free range grass fed cattle never administered antibiotics or hormones. They strive to get the best sources of fish from cold waters. Because this product is not pasteurized, they make extra efforts and make it the way our ancestors did by fermenting the oil to archive the best results. They also test for metals and toxins in small batches to ensure consistency. Hope this helps.

I checked the package. It says it is a "natural" food item... you could call the farm.. It does NOT say Organic on package so..I assume it is not
