Why SWC products are better?
SWC provides to you a products that is purely supplied from sustainable ecosystem method as all our fishermen use traditional Kelong or locally known as Bagang to net their catch. Only lighting is used to attract the fish. Such method does not destroy the sea coral and marine habitats. Unlike most, sea crawlers are used for harvesting at deep sea and this is very harmful to our marine ecosystem.
Addition to the above, the sea water of Sabah shores has far lesser mercury contamination compared to other states in Malaysia. Coupled with small size and short life cycle of the anchovies, the mercury content is far lower than other larger fish.
SWC uses the latest drying technology where heat derived from boiling water to dehydrates the fresh anchovies inside a closed hygienic indoor drying chamber. There is totally no direct contact of gas and carbon to the fish, thus ensuring our products are safe for you and your family to consume.
