What Makes Safe Catch Better?

Learn more about our unique catching, testing, and cooking methods

First, we catch the tuna.

Our tuna is traceable from catch to can and we only buy from captains whose fish come from managed and sustainable tuna stocks. Read more about our Sustainability Policy and Socially Responsible Sourcing Policy.

Then, we test each tuna.

Using our proprietary technology, we are able to test every single fish for its mercury content. If it doesn’t meet our purity standards we don’t buy it.  It still may be a good tuna, but it’s not a Safe Catch tuna.

  • Our limit for Safe Catch Elite Wild Tuna is ten times (10x) stricter than the FDA mercury action limit.
  • Our limit for Safe Catch Wild Albacore Tuna is two and a half times (2.5x) stricter than the FDA mercury action limit.

Why test every tuna?

These fish seem identical. They are the same size. They swim in the same school. They both like recess and hate math.

About 1 out of 4 tuna tested do not pass our strict purity standards

That's why Safe Catch tests every fish. And we're the only brand that does.

Other canned tunas lose flavor and Omega 3s due to machine processing. We hand pack pure, raw tuna steaks to retain maximum nutrients and then slow cook them to perfection.

Enjoy Safe Catch tuna!

Other canned tuna companies precook their tuna and use additives and fillers to artificially enhance their fish. At Safe Catch, we don’t add any fillers or additives to our unseasoned products. In fact, besides salt where noted, we don’t add anything at all! Just pure tuna. You will love the amazing, pure flavor of Safe Catch tuna. Just as nature intended.
