Blue Star Foods Corp. is a unified ESG focusing on sustainable seafood corporation built on Recirculatory Aquaculture Systems (RAS), has announced two significant developments in its growth policy:

• A planned national corporation with KeHE Distributors as its chief distribution partner and
• The introduction of its top 6-ounce crab meat pocket, now accessible via KeHE’s broad selling system.

The association with KeHE, a leading organic, natural, specialty, and fresh goods dealer with over 7,900 employee owners, 18 supply centres, and service to 31,000+ selling and online venues, unlocks national admittance, rationalized ordering, and limited advertising chances for retail associates across the United States.

Introducing the Flagship 6-Ounce Crab Meat Pouch

Blending functionality with flavor is the newly launched pouch features completely cooked and pasteurized wild-caught blue swimming crab. It delivers:

• Long shelf life (refrigerated), suitable grab-and-go arrangement
• Clean-label, eco-friendly preparation, perfectly allied with health-conscious customer trends. Unlike artificial crab (which may cover added starches or sugars)
• Low GI food, a 6-oz portion, comprises less than 2 grams of carbohydrates, resulting in a slight blood sugar impression
• Eco-Fresh™ sustainable packing, significantly lowering energy utilization, greenhouse gas emissions, transportation footprint, and discarding influence compared to traditional cans or cups
• Supporting sales of nearly 12 million pouch units traded since 2003

Blue Star Foods' Commitment to Sustainability

Since introducing the first Eco-Fresh™ seafood pouch in 2003, Blue Star has embodied a Triple Bottom Line (3BL) philosophy balancing economic, social, and environmental priorities. The company has led in packaging innovation, carbon-conscious Life Cycle Analysis (*), and ethical sourcing to meet the expectations of today’s eco-conscious market.

(*) Pouches consume 60% less CO2 than cans
