Question 1

I'm looking at these and see that they are twice the price of other dolphin safe brands. Why? It can't be because of where they're packaged.

Accepted Answer

While Safe Catch says they test every tuna, I'm not sure that does more than add cost. I just went online and found that albacore tuna typically is .358 ppm mercury -- so it appears that even other brands of albacore tuna are below the federal standard listed by Safe Catch of .38 ppm. The only difference seems to be that they test the individual tunas to make sure they are below this level -- but based on other information that I've read, it appears that most albacore tuna already is below the federal level.

Question 2

Is the tuna cooked like regular cans if tuna or is it raw?

Accepted Answer

It is fully cooked. You can eat it right out of the can. Safe Catch is cooked differently  than conventional tuna however:

Conventional twice cooked tuna is made by putting the fish in large pre-cookers on open racks, machine processing it, rehydrating the precooked tuna in the can and cooking it again.  As a result, conventional tuna lose many vital Omega 3 oils as the fish precook on racks and the oils drain away.  The machine processing also impairs natural flavor and texture.

At Safe Catch we do it differently. We hand cut and hand pack solid wild tuna steaks to seal in all the natural oils and nutrients and slow cook each one just once for an amazing taste. Do not drain Safe Catch tuna. There are no additives and fillers. Empty it into a bowl, chop up the steak and mix it.  The tuna will reabsorb its natural oils and juices for a moist and delicious taste. You can eat it right out of the can or use it in your favorite recipe.

Question 3

Why is it packaged in Thailand? (cost being the obvious answer) but how safe is that and what regulations are in place there.

Accepted Answer

I would not touch this with a 10mft. pole because of where it is processed. Thailand and most other countries have much lower standards for quality and sanitation than the US and virtually NO oversight. No matter how "sustainably" caught the seafood product is, if the company sends it to Asia/Eurasia/South America for processing, the quality of product you are buying is suspect. Don't buy it.

Question 4

How long is the shelf life (expiration date)?

Accepted Answer

I bought a case 3 to 4 months ago and the expiration date is sometime in 2021 ( couldn't make out the month).  Safe Catch is the best tuna ever...
