What Makes Safe Catch Different?

Learn more about our unique catching, testing, and cooking methods

Safe Catch is the only brand that tests every single tuna for mercury. Our strict limits are up to 10× lower than the FDA’s mercury action level (1.0 ppm),1 and our mercury limit claims have been independently reviewed by the National Advertising Division (NAD).6

Catch Wild Tuna Sustainably

We source wild tuna from responsibly managed fisheries. Every fish is traceable from catch to can under our Sustainability and Socially Responsible Sourcing Policy.

Test Every Tuna

Using our proprietary mercury-testing technology, certified by AOAC Research Institute under its Performance Tested MethodsSM (PTM) program, we analyze every single tuna for mercury.2  Fish that exceed our strict limits are not purchased.
  • Safe Catch Elite Wild Tuna: tested to a limit of 0.1 ppm — 10× lower than the FDA’s action level.5
  • Safe Catch Wild Ahi, Yellowfin Tuna: tested to a limit of 0.1 ppm — 10× lower than the FDA’s action level.5
  • Safe Catch Wild Albacore Tuna: tested to a limit of 0.38 ppm — 2.5× lower than the FDA’s action level.5
Mercury levels can vary significantly even among tuna of the same species and size; geography alone can cause levels to vary by three-fold or more.3 That is why testing every tuna matters. We are the only brand that tests every fish, one by one.

Why Test Every Tuna?

Two tuna caught from the same school may look identical but can have very different mercury levels. Scientific studies show that mercury concentrations vary within a single tuna species by up to three-fold depending on where the fish lives and feeds.3 Larger, long-lived tuna also accumulate more mercury.4 That’s why we test every fish. About 1 in 4 tuna do not meet our mercury standards, so testing every tuna ensures the purity of the ones we keep.

These fish seem identical. They are the same size. They swim in the same school. They both like recess and hate math.

About 1 out of 4 tuna tested do not pass our strict purity standards

That's why Safe Catch tests every fish. And we're the only brand that does.

Retain Natural Nutrients

Many canned tuna products are precooked on racks, machine processed, and then cooked again, which drains away much of the fish’s natural omega-3 oils and flavor.

Safe Catch does it differently. We hand-cut and hand-pack solid wild tuna steaks, seal in the fish’s own juices, and slow-cook once. This process preserves natural omega-3s, protein, and micronutrients, so there’s nothing to drain. We never add water, oil, fillers, or preservatives.

Just Pure Tuna

Our unseasoned tuna contains only wild fish and a touch of sea salt (when noted) — no oil, water, fillers, soy broth, or preservatives.

Open the can, break up the steak, and let it reabsorb its natural juices for a moist, flavorful meal.

Trusted by Independent Reviewers

Heritage brands challenged our claims, which triggered an audit from the National Advertising Division. After their thorough review:

“NAD determined that the advertiser, Safe Catch provided a reasonable basis for claims that its tuna has the ‘lowest mercury of any brand,’ ‘the lowest mercury limit of any brand,’ and that it is the ‘lowest mercury tuna of any brand.’6”

This recognition underscores our commitment to transparency and scientific integrity.
