Safe Catch

Safe Catch was definitely a highlight for me and I wish I knew about this brand when I was pregnant because they have a pretty meticulous protocol for testing every single fish for high levels of mercury. They have the strictest mercury limits of any brand and their product Safe Catch Elite is the only tuna brand that passes Consumer Reports “Low Mercury” criteria for pregnant women and kids.

Safe Catch also tastes exceptional. If you weren't aware, most canned tuna companies pre-cook their tuna and use additives and fillers to put flavor back into the fish. These brands will put the tuna on racks which drains out more than 80 percent of the natural omega-3s and added benefits. Safe Catch doesn't remove the delicious juices from the fish, so you get the full flavor of the fish and a nice dose of omega-3s with every bite.

They use a unique cooking process called "raw packing" in which they take hand cut tuna steaks and pack them in the can, and cook in the can to retain 100 percent of the omega-3s, natural vitamins and minerals. They also don’t add any broth, oil or water to their tuna. Safe Catch tuna is just cooked in its natural fish oils for a very fresh flavor!

What else is awesome about Safe Catch?

1. Safe Catch is non-GMO and BPA free and dolphin safe.
2. Safe Catch tuna is traceable from catch to can and they only buy from captains whose fish come from managed and sustainable stocks.
3. Their limit for Safe Catch Elite Wild Tuna is 10 times stricter than the FDA mercury action limit and their limit for Wild Albacore Tuna is three times stricter than the FDA mercury action limit.
4. If one fish doesn’t meet their purity standards they don’t buy it.
5. They don’t add any fillers or additives, unless where salt is noted, they don’t add anything except tuna.  

I can't see myself purchasing any other brand now other than Safe Catch.
