Problem

This standard is ten times stricter than the FDA's mercury limit. By testing every fish, Safe Catch provides consumers with a safer tuna option, free from additives and fillers, and with lower mercury levels than other brands. The company sources tuna from MSC-certified fisheries and utilizes a slow-cooking process to retain nutrients and flavor.
