We had quite the chat with the America Tuna reps at the Fancy Food Show 2019...as this one stop entity for wholesome-real deal canned primo wild albacore tuna-is packaged without added fillers, additives, oils or salt-so no draining needed from the BPA free cans... (the authentic pre 1960 way fyi). Remarkably, America Tuna is owned by the fishing folks  themselves.
Hand packed/processed in Oregon + Washington States-and 3rd party tested to ensure low mercury levels, pole caught America Tuna-is flaky fresh delicious-yes the better quality in taste/texture is that obvious. Sustainable (Marine Stewardship Council certified,  and traceable too (can coded).
BONUS POINTS: the whole fish is used-with the non-fillet part repurposed as bait-or fertilizer. Carried by Wegmans,   Whole Foods and smaller retailers-coast to coast + directly on Amazon
America Tuna has partnered with African fisherman + Whole Foods to launch individually caught Pole + Line Tuna

The quirky graphics' wrappers makes the whole package-inside and out= a treat.
We chatted with one of the founders/owner about the African non-profit the Cocoa Horizons Foundation-(improves the lives of cocoa farmers and their communities)--- this company supports by purchasing chocolate from...as it aligns with what President Carter advocated for-in terms of complementary partnerships with local non-profits. BRAVO.
