GFA Evaluation
Albacore Tuna (Thunnus alalunga), Pacific Ocean. Troll or pole-and-line caught. 'White tuna' — lighter flesh than skipjack. Omega-3 content approximately 800 mg per 3oz. Each lot tested for mercury.
Wild-caught, Pacific. Pole-and-line or troll — no longline bycatch. No added water or preservatives. BPA-free can. Single ingredient (tuna, plus optional salt).
Pacific albacore troll fishery supports independent fishing families on the US West Coast. No third-party Fairtrade certification.
Pacific Albacore is not the same as 'light tuna' (typically skipjack, T. albacares). Albacore mercury content is higher than skipjack per FDA data — this is a relevant disclosure for certain populations. Vital Choice tests each lot for mercury and publishes results, providing verifiable evidence for safety claims.
