FAQ
How is True North cold smoked salmon processed?
We begin with salmon raised by our network of responsible aquaculture farms. Each fish is filleted, cured with a blend of sea salt and sugar, and cold smoked at temperatures below 80°F. This process preserves the natural texture, flavor, and nutritional content while creating the characteristic smoked aroma and taste.
What makes True North cold smoked salmon different from other brands?
We prioritize sustainable aquaculture practices and maintain full traceability from farm to table. Our processing facilities meet strict food safety standards. We are committed to providing a consistent product that is free of antibiotics, growth hormones, and artificial preservatives.
What does "no nitrates" mean in smoked salmon?
“No nitrates” means the salmon is cured and smoked without using synthetic sodium nitrate or nitrite. These compounds are often added to preserve freshness and color. Our process relies on time, traditional smoking methods, and controlled temperatures for safety and quality.
Do your fish contain any artificial colourants?
Our salmon get their colour naturally from their diet, which includes carotenoids. Carotenoids are natural compounds found in carrots, egg yolks and a wide variety of other foods.
Natural carotenoids are a vital part of a carefully formulated diet to provide them with vitamin A, function as antioxidants, and enhance their immune system. And, of course, give them their bright, healthy colour.
Are your fish raised responsibly?
Our four star BAP Certification represents our full commitment to responsible aquaculture.
This globally recognized certification ensures compliance with strict standards across all key areas: environmental sustainability, animal welfare, food safety, and social accountability.
Achieving this designation means every stage of production—hatcheries, farms, feed mills, and processing facilities—meets rigorous industry benchmarks.
What is the shelf life of True North cold smoked salmon?
Unopened, our product lasts up to three weeks in the refrigerator. Once opened, it should be eaten within five days for best quality. If kept frozen, the salmon will maintain quality for up to three months.
