Our tuna is prepared using a premium raw pack method, which means we place sashimi-grade loins in the can before cooking. This process allows the tuna to cook in its own natural juices, preserving 100% of the beneficial omega-3 oils. These natural oils act as a preservative, extending shelf life to 5 years while maintaining optimal nutritional value. For the best flavor and health benefits, we recommend consuming both the tuna and its natural oils.

Yes, all American Tuna products are fully cooked during our careful canning process. The raw sashimi-grade tuna loins are sealed in the can and then undergo a precise thermal processing procedure that ensures complete cooking and food safety while preserving optimal flavor and nutritional value. This cooking method allows you to enjoy our tuna straight from the can with no additional preparation required.

Yes, American Tuna is safe for consumption during pregnancy. Our rigorous independent testing consistently shows mercury levels significantly below regulatory thresholds, with the highest level ever measured at just 0.01 parts per million (ppm). For perspective, the USDA standard for regular consumption is 1.0 ppm—100 times higher than our maximum detected level. This exceptionally low mercury content makes American Tuna a nutritious protein option that pregnant women can enjoy with confidence while benefiting from the essential omega-3 fatty acids that support fetal development.
