Health & Quality Control

In order for our customers to have complete trust and confidence in our products, we have
to ensure that our CBKois health is in excellent condition when we ship them. Quality
control is also an important factor in maintaining our high quality Nishikigoi.

Here are some things we do to ensure health and quality control.

Our farm's location is isolated as required by CIQ (Entry-Exit Inspection
and Quarantine of the Peoples Republic of China) & CEFAS (The Center for
Environment Fisheries & Aquaculture Science), as we are under the
monitoring scheme for SVC. We are seperated from the outside world by a
drain running all round our farm.
