Western Grocer Serving the industry since 1916
British Columbia, April 2016 — Raincoast Trading, well known for leading the way in sustainable seafood, is going global.
Working with the Marine Stewardship Council (www.msc.org), Raincoast Trading has sourced sustainable pole and line-caught wild skipjack tuna in the Maldives for their new product line: Raincoast Global.
Raincoast Global Wild Skipjack Tuna is available in two varieties: with natural sea salt and salt-free. Both contain low levels of mercury with no added flavouring or preservatives.
“We wanted to provide a sustainable yet affordable option for all consumers,” said Kim Stockburn, brand manager for Raincoast Trading. “While we continue to sell our local BC-caught and processed premium Pacific Albacore Tuna, we have been exploring sustainable fisheries in other parts of the globe in order to provide a product that is accessible and affordable for everyone.”
Look for Raincoast Global in the canned seafood aisle or natural food aisle at a retailer near you.
Raincoast Trading has been selling premium wild seafood products since 1995. Based in Vancouver on the west coast of Canada, the company is proud to offer consumers sustainably-harvested, gourmet canned seafood. Raincoast Trading adheres to the highest sustainability standards when catching, processing and packaging its seafood. Pole & line fishing involves individual lines with bait or lures attached at the end of the line. Any bycatch caught by pole & line can easily be released alive and there is no impact on the surrounding environment.
