Over the years, as part of the KB Seafood family, with nearly 100 years of industry experience, we have remained committed to the implementation of rigorous processes that prioritise quality assurance. 

From responsibly sourcing seafood at sea level to upholding superior quality assurance standards in our global facilities, we take pride in our ability to offer delicious quality seafood without compromising on quality, sustainability, or ethics - ensuring that every Blue Wave seafood product is nothing short of exceptional. 

Sourcing Quality Seafood: The First Step

Our journey begins at sea level, with long-standing and strong supplier relationships - allowing us to preserve the integrity and freshness of the seafood from the moment it is caught. 

This ensures a consistent and dependable source of high-quality seafood - making our relationships and our people a critical component of our quality assurance strategy. 

Our Facilities: Unmatched Safety and Quality

After our seafood is sourced, it is transported to our facilities located across the globe, including in Australia. These facilities are equipped with the latest technology and operate under stringent quality assurance measures. 

We partner with global facilities which are accredited to globally recognised food safety standards and each of our Australian facility complies with the Global Food Safety Initiatives (GFSI) - which outline the food safety, quality, and operational requirements for food manufacturers and food service organisations. 

By adhering to these standards, we ensure that our seafood meets the highest levels of safety and quality as well as excellence throughout our supply chain. 

Our Certifications 

Our commitment to quality assurance is demonstrated by our certifications, which include: 

Safe Quality Food Program and Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points 

A key component of our quality assurance is the Safe Quality Food (SQF) Program certification. Recognised by the GFSI, the SQF Program covers all stages of the food supply chain, including primary production, food manufacturing, distribution, packaging, and retail. 

This comprehensive certification assures the safety, reliability, and top quality of our seafood. By meeting these strict standards, we ensure that our products consistently live up to their commitment to excellence. 

The SQF Program certification also guarantees that our Australian facilities operate under the principles of Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points (HACCP). HACCP is an internationally recognised standard for preventive food risk management. This system focuses on identifying potential physical, chemical, and biological hazards during the food manufacturing process and implementing control measures to prevent these hazards. 

By proactively addressing potential risks, we ensure that our seafood is safe for consumption and maintains the highest quality standards. 

Logistics: A Well-Oiled Machine 

Efficient logistics are crucial for maintaining the quality and freshness of our seafood. Our logistical processes are like a well-oiled machine, ensuring that our products are transported and processed under highly controlled conditions. From “fished responsibly” to “sealed in the bag with our stamp of approval”, every step is carefully monitored to maintain our rigorous standards for taste, freshness and quality. 

Upgrading Facilities for Continuous Improvement

At Blue Wave, we are dedicated to continuous improvement, which involves frequent investments in upgrading our facilities to keep them at the forefront of the industry. 

KB Seafood has recently upgraded our industry-leading Live Tanks facility in Perth, Western Australia. This facility, along with all others, operates to the highest standards and complies with GFSI requirements. These upgrades ensure that we can consistently deliver high-quality, great-tasting seafood that meets our customers' - as well as their customers’ - expectations. 

Commitment to Health and Nutritional Quality 

We take pride in our Health Star Rating, which reflects the nutritional quality of our products and demonstrates our commitment to providing nutritious options for consumers. Our seafood products are not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients that contribute to a healthy diet. 

We provide a reliable supply of value-driven seafood to wholesalers, distributors, independent retailers, caterers, cafes, restaurants, executive chefs, and procurement managers throughout Australia. Our goal is to help more Australian families enjoy the benefits of having healthier, high-quality seafood on their tables. 

Vision for the Future 

With almost 100 years of expert knowledge, backed by the reliability and trust granted under the wing of KB Seafood Co, we envision to become Australia’s preferred supplier of value-led seafood. 

Our goal is to support the food service industry in putting more quality seafood on their menus, so more Australian families can enjoy the benefits of having quality seafood on their tables. 

This vision drives us to continually improve our processes, uphold our dedication to quality, sustainability and ethics.
