Scout canning, an Canadian seafood canning company has launched its new BC caught Albacore tuna line.
Scout is working with BC tuna fishermen and local canneries.
More about Scout:
Scout works directly with North American fisheries and sustainable farms from coast to coast. Our fishery partners meet the highest standard in sustainability, including reduced by-catch and minimal ecosystem impact. We source from responsible fisheries that support their communities. Fishermen, producers and processors are paid fair wages and receive benefits. Our farmed products are fed from natural sources and have never been exposed to antibiotics, hormones or overcrowding in their pens.
Scout’s mission is to be the most trusted seafood brand in North America while reducing food waste and protecting our oceans and waterways.
Reducing Food Waste:
50% of fresh and frozen seafood ends up in landfills, a major issue we need to change. By preserving seafood through the canning we extend the shelf life of our products, reducing food waste. You enjoy delicious seafood with 100% of the nutritional benefits without any additives or preservatives.
Lower Carbon Footprint:
The carbon footprint of canned seafood is substantially less compared to the energy requirements needed in the supply chain of chilled and frozen seafood.
