Atlantic Natural Foods has launched Tuno, a plant-based, canned seafood alternative. Tuno was created in collaboration with seafood industry experts looking to help address the growing crisis of global fish stocks being overfished and depleted. It's currently available on Amazon.com and will begin rolling out to major retailers in December 2018, including Walmart, Safeway, Sprouts, Food Lion, Meijer, Shaw's, Ingles, Big Y, Price Chopper, and Save Mart. Along with Tuno's North American launch, the company plans to make the new product available in select global markets.
The founder of ANF, J. Douglas Hines, is a former seafood industry executive and, until recently, was one of the investors in the largest distant water fishing fleet operating in the western Pacific under the U.S. flag. It was one of the first fleets to quality for Marine Steward Council certification, the highest standard recognized around the world for on-board safety, sustainable practices, and social responsibility. Based on its insights into the future strain placed on global fisheries, ANF developed Tuno over five years ago, which has resulted in the launch of a seafood alternative.
Tuno comes in three canned varieties, Spring Water with Sea Salt, Lemon Pepper, and Spicy Sriracha. Additionally, ANF's Loma Linda brand offers a similar alternative to seafood in on-the-go, single-serve pouches, which are available in Lemon Pepper, Thai Sweet Chili, and Sesame Ginger, with more flavors to be introduced.
