We are all really exciting to be leading this trend in Sweden.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"do-not-expand\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"animate-into-view\" src=\"https:\/\/asc-aqua.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image0-2.jpeg\" alt=\"The founders of Reko Sushi and Bowls stand behind the counter of one of their restaurants with ASC and MSC logos on screens behind them\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2131\" data-animate-direction-to=\"right\" \/><figcaption><span class=\"animate-into-view\" data-animate-direction-to=\"right\">Reko Sushi and Bowls founders, Magnus Wallin and Daniel Joannou<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p2\">Reko Sushi &amp; Bowls have restaurants in Malm\u00f6, Lund, Helsingborg and \u00c4ngelholm. The owners previously operated the R\u00e5 Epok sushi chain, which had previously committed to not serving red-listed or endangered fish. The newly refurbished restaurants of Reko Sushi &amp; Bowls take this commitment further.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled that Reko Sushi &amp; Bowls have given their customers the opportunity to enjoy sushi that has been responsibly sourced,\u201d said Inger Melander, ASC Commercial Marketing Manager for Northern Europe. \u201cThe rigorous and transparent nature of the ASC standards mean that consumers can be confident that ASC certified seafood has been produced in a way that minimises environmental and social impacts. That means they can get on with enjoying their sushi safe in the knowledge that they are rewarding responsible producers.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1100418,"template":"","tags":[],"class_list":["post-1100409","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/asc-aqua.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/1100409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/asc-aqua.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/asc-aqua.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asc-aqua.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1100418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/asc-aqua.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1100409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asc-aqua.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1100409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
