Wild Planet’s award-­‐winning line of wildly good, sustainably caught tuna differs from conventional tuna brands in the way that it’s caught, cooked and served. Wild Planet’s Wild Albacore Tuna contains an average of 800mg EPA and DHA Omega 3 per serving. This level of Omega 3 is attainable because Wild Planet packs raw tuna steaks into the can before the cooking process, sealing in the albacore’s nutritious natural juices. Other brands of canned tuna are twice cooked. The tuna is first precooked, which depletes the fish of its natural Omega 3 rich juices and oils, and then cooked a second time when packed with water or vegetable oil. A once-­‐
cooked tuna like Wild Planet’s is vastly superior in taste, and requires no draining. The high Omega 3 content of Wild Planet’s albacore is also due to the smaller, individually-­‐caught tuna caught by the company. Wild Planet’s harvesting practices are 100% compliant with the Best Choices for Sustainability recommendations offered by a number of environmental groups. Processed in the same manner is Wild Planet’s Skipjack Light Tuna. This lower-­‐mercury species is sustainably caught in pristine waters and has exceptional flavor and firm texture. Both the albacore and skipjack are OU Kosher certified and packaged with no water or oil to drain, -­‐-­‐ just 100% pure tuna. Exceptional tasting, eco-­‐conscious and healthier tuna alternative, Wild Planet Albacore, original and no salt added ($3.49 per 5oz can), and Wild Planet Skipjack Light Tuna ($2.99 per 5oz can) are available at natural food stores, mass merchants and traditional grocery stores nationwide, as well as through www.wildplanetfoods.com.
