AI picks by need
What the AI looks for in Packaged Tuna Fish
- Species
- Skipjack (light) is lower in mercury than albacore (white). Mercury risk depends on species, which matters for children and pregnancy.
- Catch method
- Pole-and-line or troll-caught over unspecified methods. These methods reduce bycatch.
- Packing
- Oil for richness; water for low fat; 'packed in its own juices' for flavor. Liquid sets texture and taste.
Brands that matter
- Safe Catch: Testing-focused tuna.
- Wild Planet: Pole-and-line tuna.
- Conservas Ortiz: Spanish bonito.
- Tonnino: Jarred tuna fillets.
What to avoid
- Tuna labelled only 'chunk light' without a stated species.
