Norlantic Processors Ltd.'s processing plant is located in Pleasantview, Notre Dame Bay, in northeastern Newfoundland. The company applied for BAP certification last November. In addition to the processing plant, Norlantic Processors Ltd. also owns three mussel farms covering 738 hectares, and these three farms will also apply for BAP certification in the future.

Last October, Atlantic Aqua Farms Partnership in Prince Edward Island was the first to receive BAP certification. Furthermore, the mussel farm standards will become an industry benchmark, promoting the development of the mollusk farming industry, with products covering clams, oysters, scallops, and abalone.
