Non GMO Project Verified OU Kosher Pareve In Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Free-School Purse Seine Caught Sustainably Sourced in the North Pacific Boneless & Skinless Wild Planet FAQ How long has Wild Planet been in business? The company was founded in 2004 by William Carvalho and Bill McCarthy. These two industry veterans, with a combined 50 years of experience, wanted to start a company that addressed the need to preserve the natural marine habitat while still harvesting wild seafood. It is their vision that these needs can successfully co-exist. Wild Planet Foods emerged from this vision with a product line of eco-preferable wild seafood. The natural ocean ecosystem is an abundant food production resource that must remain that way; the name Wild Planet arose from this concept. How are Wild Planet fish caught? Wild Planet tuna are caught individually using pole and troll methods. This ensures that no other marine life is caught or harmed in the process, unlike long-line and FAD (fish aggregating device) purse seine methods which are employed by many national companies and endanger other marine species. Wild Planet's salmon, sardines and anchovies are "free school" purse seine caught which means no FADs are used to attract the fish. Where do the tuna come from? Are they wild or farm raised? Wild Planet carries only wild caught products. Their albacore tuna comes from pole and troll fleets in the North Pacific working in the United States and Japan. They also source a smaller amount of albacore from pole and troll vessels working in New Zealand and the southern Pacific waters. Wild Planet skipjack and yellowfin tuna are pole caught in Indonesia and Japan by small-scale family fishing vessels. Where are sardines and anchovies sourced? Wild Planet sardines are caught in the North Pacific and come from both California and Japan. Their white anchovies are caught in Peru. Are Wild Planet albacore and skipjack tuna packed in water or oil? They place hand-cut sashimi grade tuna steaks in each can, retaining all the natural juices and Omega 3 oils, without adding any liquid. This is 100% pure tuna and sea salt so there is never any need to drain. An exception to this method is their tuna packed in extra virgin olive oil. Why is Wild Planet tuna higher in calories than conventional brands? Since they pack their tuna in its natural juices all of the Omega 3 oils are present and these oils contain calories. The added water in conventional tuna is devoid of both nutrition and calories. This is why Wild Planet tuna is highly potent nutritionally. Why is the Omega 3 content higher in Wild Planet tuna? Wild Planet cooks their tuna only once, in the can, retaining all of its natural oils. Most conventional brands cook their fish before putting it in the can and adding oil or water thereby losing much of its nutritional value. Why is there less mercury in Wild Planet albacore tuna as compared to conventional brands of tuna? The 9 to 25 pound pole and troll caught albacore from the North Pacific are much smaller and younger than long line caught older fish that can reach up to 70 pounds after 10 to 15 years of growth. The older fish accumulate more mercury over time. How is Wild Planet's offering of smaller, younger fish consistent with a sustainability mission when these fish haven't had a chance to breed? There are two fishing segments targeting albacore world
