Our portfolio
Inspired by the growing demand for authentic, natural flavours, our new selection of high quality marine extracts provides fresh and genuine seafood profiles for your products and consumer-friendly labelling.
These extracts are available as a liquid or powder, with or without added salt. All are undiluted and come with a clear label declaration (e.g. lobster extract). The range includes crab, clam, cod, pollock, scallop, shrimp, lobster, salmon, langoustine, oyster and tuna.
“Givaudan’s seafood extracts have captured the essence of the sea. They take me back to the days of being a chef on the west coast of Canada and allow me to create and add authentic seafood profiles to my dishes, bringing the fresh taste of the sea to the plate.”
Simon, Givaudan Development Chef
Traceability and sustainability
The journey of our products throughout the entire supply chain, from sourcing to selling, is extremely important to us. All of our seafood can be traced to its precise fishing zone:
| Western Central Pacific | Clams |
| Northeast Atlantic | Pollock, cod, scallop, crab, shrimp, salmon and langoustine |
| Northwest Atlantic | Lobster |
| Northwest Pacific | Oyster |
| Western Indian Ocean | Tuna |
Responsible sourcing
Component content
Fish and seafood products are becoming increasingly popular as a healthier alternative to meat, but global supplies are limited.
Givaudan adheres to a strict set of practices to ensure that our materials are responsibly sourced. We work with local suppliers who have strong business ethics and understand the need to preserve the environment.
Protecting fish stocks for the future
Several of our extracts are certified by MSC, a science-based set of standards for sustainable fishing defined by the Marine Stewardship Council.

The flavours blend easily into local recipes. They can be added to ready meals, soups, spreads, surimi sticks and more, or they could even form the basis of dishes such as lobster bisque, cod brandade, bouillabaisse, or green crab and onion.
