What is established and what is not

No researcher review has been written for this company yet. 21 official records from 12 official sources are on file. 2 other entries are not official records: our own technical checks and searches, open directory listings, our inferences or the company's own statements. Everything is listed below with its evidence type: each entry confirms only what it literally says; none of them is a review. The manufacturing role above rests on the official records listed below, and only as far as each literally goes: a facility registration or licence is not an observation of current production. Nothing here confirms ownership or trading status beyond what each record literally says.

Facts on file, each with its evidence type

• The inspection report describes the site: La société Fil’Mer exploite une usine de découpe, filetage et conditionnement de poissons frais sur la commune de Givrand. (record type: facility-activity-described) [official record; status green] The inspection report describes the site: La société Fil’Mer exploite une usine de découpe, filetage et conditionnement de poissons frais sur la commune de Givrand..
