Is Safe Catch Tuna dolphin safe?
Yes! We are approved by the Earth Island International Monitoring Program as a Dolphin-Safe Distributor. http://www.earthisland.org We also make every effort on our own to ensure that all of our tuna is truly dolphin-safe.
Our Albacore tuna is Pole and Line caught, which means that each individual fish is caught with one pole and one hook. This method makes it virtually impossible for a dolphin to be hurt.
Every single lot of tuna that we catch comes from a Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified fishery and comes with a signed statement from the captain that states that “no dolphins were killed or seriously injured in the sets in which the tuna were caught.” Each and every lot of tuna we purchase is first inspected for the appropriate Fisheries, Dolphin-safe, and Sustainability documentation, inspected for quality, then tested by our own employees before we decide to purchase it. This ensures that you are getting the purest tuna of any brand.
