Question 1

Is there any testing for radiation levels?

Accepted Answer

The link provided by kit2 below is no longer functioning.  I did find their updated statement on their website if you copy the link I've put on here and google it, the company has a FAQ statement that will enable you to get the full testing process question answered satisfactorily.  "Our president and founder Bill Carvalho has written an informative document regarding radiation in Wild Planet products." Please see this link for a pdf of this document: Wild Planet Radiation Statement.- See more at: http://www.wildplanetfoods.com/faqs/#sthash.abEx5DXm.dpufon   Once you click on it, scroll all the way down to the bottom to see the specific radiation question answered.

Question 2

Is the can really bpa free? last I heard was only their sardine?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely BPA free. Can actually says it, and you can verify by calling Wild Planet customer service at 800.998.9946. I buy several cases each year.

Question 3

What about mercury in the tuna - does all tuna have mercury in it ?

Accepted Answer

Quoting Wild Planet's seafood & pregnancy statement: 
The average mercury content of tuna rises with the age and size of the fish. Wild Planet only sources pole and line as well as troll caught tuna, which are the younger and smaller, migratory tuna that are caught near the surface.

These fish (3-5 years of age) have accumulated lower levels of mercury as compared to older and larger tuna (6-12 years old) which live at much lower depths and in a different part of the Pacific Ocean.

Our annual third-party testing protocol, verifies that Wild Planet tuna products average 0.076PPM for Skipjack (which is 13 times lower than the FDA “Action Limit” of 1.0PPM) and 0.17PPM for Albacore (which is six times lower than the FDA “Action Limit” of 1.0PPM). Wild Planet has been controlling the average and range of mercury in its products since 2004 and continues to do so.

Wild Planet's list of fish to avoid during pregnancy. Fish with the highest risk of exposure to dietary mercury include: Tilefish, Shark, Swordfish and King mackerel.

To which I add, King mackerel is not to be confused with Chub mackerel. Chub is considered to be among the more mercury "safe" fish, although Wild Planet didn't explicitly include Chub in their list of mercury safer fish.

Question 4

Is this tuna packed in oil or in water?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question. Wild Planet skipjack wild tuna is hand packed raw into cans without added oil, water or fillers and cooked once to retain the abundant Omega 3. No need to drain the natural juices – they’ll enhance your meal with pure flavor.
Thank you,
