Wild Planet Foods Launches Skipjack Wild Tuna

MCKINLEYVILLE, Calif. — As demand for convenient and nutritious grab-and-go meals increase, Wild Planet Foods, a provider of sustainable seafood, is pleased to introduce its new Skipjack Wild Tuna single-serve pouches.

Boasting 21 grams of protein and an average of 230mg EPA and DHA Omega 3 per serving, Wild Planet Foods’ new Skipjack Wild Tuna delivers premium nutrition in only 90 calories per pouch. Like the company’s wildly popular Albacore Tuna pouches, these Skipjack Wild Tuna Pouches contain only 100% pure, sustainably pole & line caught tuna— with no water, oil or filler added.

“In speaking with our customers, we’ve learned that consumers want what’s good for the earth, their bodies and their busy schedules,” said Bill Carvalho, founder and president of Wild Planet Foods. “Our Skipjack Wild Tuna 100 % pole and line caught and is sourced from the Central or North Pacific Ocean. Protein-rich and full of flavor, Skipjack is one of the tuna species lowest in mercury. To meet consumer demands for environmentally-friendly, convenient nutrition, we took this nutritional powerhouse and put it in a pouch, so that fitness enthusiasts, the health conscious, and individuals who are simply pressed for time can easily toss a pouch in their bag and go for a filling, nutritious and mess-free meal.”

Like Wild Planet’s Albacore Wild Tuna Pouches, the Skipjack Wild Tuna Pouches features hand-cut and hand-packed, pure, Skipjack tuna. Cooked right in the package, the tuna retains its natural Omega 3-rich juices and because no water, oil or fillers have been added, no draining is needed —consumers can simply open the pouch and enjoy!

Beginning in January 2018, Wild Planet’s new Skipjack Wild Tuna Pouches will be available at grocery and natural foods retailers across the country for an MRSP of $2.99. For more information, please visit www.wildplanetfoods.com.
