Wild Planet Foods Releases Tuna in Glass Jars

Wild Planet Foods, the leading provider of sustainable seafood, is expanding its line of ultra-premium wild tuna with the release of its new Skipjack Wild Tuna in Pure Olive Oil and Petite Tonno Wild Tuna in Pure Olive Oil. This is the company’s first-ever Petite Tonno offering.

Hand-packed in pure olive oil, these solid fillets of tuna can be served atop salad, in a favorite pasta dish or in a sandwich for a flavor-packed treat. At 170 calories per 3-ounce serving for the Petite Tonno and 200 calories per 3-ounce serving for the Skipjack, these nutrient-rich items feature 22 grams and 20 grams of protein respectively. Both new products are gluten free and certified by the Non-GMO Project as well.

The Skipjack Wild Tuna is sustainably pole and line caught near Cape Verde, and the Petite Tonno Wild Tuna is sourced in the same region by purse seine fishing vessels that do not use FADs (Fish Aggregating Devices). Both of these methods are in line with the best practices for sustainability recommended by a consensus of environmental groups, including the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Program.

Both products are available in 6.7-ounce glass jars with 1.5 servings per jar (drained). Each has a suggested retail price of $6.99.
