Woolworths launches South Africa’s first retail branded MSC certified tuna

Woolworths in South Africa has launched the country’s first retail branded MSC certified canned tuna, reports Get It Durban.

After four years of working closely with the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and WWF-SASSI, Woolworths has succeeded in securing an MSC-certified source of canned tuna, caught using the pole-and-line catch method, for its Woolworths branded canned tuna range.

The move is part of the retailer’s Fishing for the Future initiative, an on-going drive to meet various sustainability goals for the wild-caught and farmed seafood it sells.
