Tuna
Shop by category
Tuna is a versatile fish. From salads and hand rolls to melts and even pasta, tuna is a tasty, healthy addition to a wide range of meals and snacks. Just one tiny can of tuna provides more than half of your daily recommended value of protein, along with key nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids.
Reel In Safe and Sustainable Tuna
Because tuna already has tons of protein and vitamins with very little fat, the main concerns when purchasing it are less about how nutritious it is, and more about how it was caught. You should also find out whether the tuna you purchase is sufficiently free of contaminants like mercury. When reading the label on a can or package of tuna, it’s important to look out for key terms, such as:
- Sustainably caught
- Sustainably farmed
- Turtle and dolphin safe
- Fish aggregating device (FAD)-free
- Long lines-free
- Scale-free
- Mercury tested
Top Tuna Brands
Look for tuna that has been responsibly harvested and prepared with as few additives as possible, or none at all. These brands have you covered:
Safe Catch
Safe Catch uses proprietary technology to test all of its tuna for mercury, and it only approves fish with mercury levels far below the Food and Drug Administration’s action limit. Safe Catch’s tuna is also caught without any FADs and is full of omega-3s while remaining Whole30 approved.
Wild Planet
Wild Planet is committed to sustainable fishing practices. All of its tuna catching complies with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Program. That means Wild Planet’s practices avoid habitat damage and don’t contribute to overfishing.
