Why is Safe Catch Albacore the lowest mercury limit of any albacore brand? At Safe Catch food purity is paramount. We want to give consumers nutritious seafood they can feel confident in eating, while also protect purity in our oceans, lakes, and rivers. Because of our innovative testing method and strict mercury limits, Safe Catch can ensure the purity of every single tuna fish and every single can of Safe Catch tuna. How can Safe Catch be the ONLY brand that tests every tuna for mercury? Mercury levels between two individual tuna can vary widely even between two tuna of the same size, same school and from the same location. The only way to know the purity of a fish is to test it. We partnered with engineers and scientists to develop a proprietary technology that can test each and every tuna for mercury. No other brand does this. Safe Catch has tested over 2,000,000 fish to date. Every fish used in Safe Catch Elite tuna is tested to a mercury limit 10 TIMES stricter than the FDA limit. If the fish does not pass our strict standards, Safe Catch does not buy the fish. They are still good fish, they’re just not Safe Catch fish. For maximum Omega3 benefit, do not drain Conventional brands pre-cook fish on racks, draining away healthy nutrients and Omega3 oils. It is then packed in water, oil or often a GMO broth and cooked again. This impairs natural flavor and texture. Safe Catch does it differently. We hand pack raw, sashimi-grade fish in the can and then slow cook each one to perfection in its own natural juices. This retains 100% of the tuna’s vital oils and freshness. Do not drain Safe Catch tuna. There are no additives and fillers—just pure tuna in each can! Health coaches love Safe Catch "Safe Catch made me a big fan of tuna. I adore Safe Catch and how much effort they put in to make sure we only get the best tuna and that it’s clean.
