MCKINLEYVILLE, Calif. — Wild Planet Foods, the first large-scale sustainably focused canned seafood company in the country, is pleased to announce that its new Ready-to-Eat Wild Tuna, Bean & Corn Salad won Good Housekeeping’s Sustainable Innovation Award in the “Smarter, Healthier Food & Kitchen” category.
Packed with protein and fiber, Wild Planet’s Ready-to-Eat Wild Tuna, Bean & Corn Salad contains a delicious blend of responsibly sourced, 100% pole & line caught wild skipjack tuna (the smallest and most abundant species of tuna with the lowest mercury levels) and organic, non-GMO sweetcorn, carrots, red peppers and red beans. Two additional recipes are also available in the Ready-to-Eat tuna Salad Bowls: Wild Tuna Pasta Salad with organic red peppers, tomatoes and green olives and Wild Tuna White Bean Salad with organic chickpeas, carrots, red peppers and green olives.
Wild Planet Ready-to-Eat Tuna Salad Bowls are a convenient, satisfying snack or light meal that require no heating or prep work of any kind. Wild Planet’s commitment to responsibly sourced seafood means the wild skipjack tuna featured in each Ready-to-Eat Tuna Salad Bowl is 100% sustainably pole & line caught – no nets are ever used. Also, Wild Planet’s commitment to the ocean environment means that the Ready-to-Eat Tuna Salad Bowls come in 100% recyclable, plastic-free packaging.
“We are honored to receive this recognition from Good Housekeeping for our Ready-to-Eat Tuna Salad Bowls,” said Bill Carvalho, President and Founder of Wild Planet Foods. “I have advocated and taken action for sustainably and responsibly sourced seafood since founding Wild Planet more than 17 years ago. Our company takes pride in our sustainable practices and shows respect for our oceans by taking only what they can give. Good Housekeeping’s Sustainable Innovation Award certainly validates our efforts, and we appreciate being selected as a winner.”
