Why Oregon Albacore Tuna is the Healthiest Choice: Low Mercury, High Nutrition
When it comes to canned tuna, not all brands are created equal. Oregon’s Choice offers a premium selection of wild-caught Albacore tuna, fished sustainably off the Oregon coast. What sets our tuna apart? It’s not just about taste—it’s about health. Oregon Albacore is among the healthiest seafood choices, thanks to its low mercury levels, high omega-3 content, and sustainable fishing practices.
Low Mercury: The Oregon Albacore Advantage
Mercury contamination is a significant concern when choosing seafood, particularly tuna. Many large-scale commercial tuna operations use species like Yellowfin, which accumulate high levels of mercury due to their long lifespan and predatory diet. In contrast, Oregon’s Choice Albacore is:
Younger and smaller, meaning it has had less time to accumulate mercury.
Wild-caught in the cold waters of the Pacific, where contamination levels are lower.
Individually hooked and handled, reducing exposure to toxins often found in mass-fishing operations.
Independent testing confirms that our Albacore contains mercury levels well below the FDA’s safety threshold, making it a safe and healthy protein source for all ages.
A Powerhouse of Nutrition: Omega-3s, Protein & More
Beyond being low in mercury, Oregon Albacore is packed with essential nutrients that support overall health:
High in Omega-3 fatty acids – Essential for brain health, heart function, and reducing inflammation.
Rich in lean protein – Helps with muscle growth, recovery, and satiety.
Naturally low in fat – A great choice for those following heart-healthy or weight-conscious diets.
Loaded with essential vitamins & minerals – Including Vitamin D, B12, and selenium, which play vital roles in immune function and energy production.
Sustainably Caught, Superior Quality
Sustainability is at the heart of Oregon’s Choice. Our Albacore is:
