In-Depth Review
Protecting Our Oceans
Wild Planet was founded with a singular focus: to change the way the world harvests seafood. Conventional tuna fishing often involves massive nets (purse seines) or longlines that catch and kill non-target species like turtles, sharks, and dolphins. Wild Planet utilizes 100% pole-and-line or troll-caught methods. This one-fish-at-a-time approach virtually eliminates bycatch, ensuring that the marine ecosystem remains balanced and healthy.
Nutritional Superiority
Unlike conventional canned tuna, which is usually cooked twice—losing its natural oils and then being filled with water or oil—Wild Planet tuna is cooked only once in the can. This process retains all the natural juices and potent Omega-3 fatty acids. When you open a can of Wild Planet, you don't drain it; you incorporate those nutritious juices back into the meat.
| Nutrient | Wild Planet (One-Cook) | Conventional (Two-Cook) |
|---|---|---|
| Omega-3s | High (Retained) | Low (Lost in processing) |
| Added Liquids | None | Water or Vegetable Oil |
| Mercury Levels | Strictly Screened | Varies widely |
- Sourced from sustainable fisheries in the North Pacific.
- BPA-free can linings.
- Supportive of small-scale fishing communities and local economies.
"We must harvest in a way that respects the ocean's ability to regenerate. Our methods ensure tuna populations remain vibrant for generations to come." — Bill Carvalho, Founder
The commitment to transparency extends to the labels, which clearly state the fishing method. By joining 1% for the Planet, the company donates a portion of its annual sales to environmental nonprofits, further amplifying its impact beyond just the products it sells. This is tuna for people who care about the ethics of the sea as much as the quality of their food.
Pros
- ✓Zero bycatch fishing methods
- ✓No added fillers or water
- ✓High Omega-3 retention
Cons
- ✗Pricier than store-brand tuna
- ✗Stronger 'real' fish flavor may be intense for some
