Chicken of the Sea International, owned by Thai Union Group, has announced that all Chicken of the Sea branded retail tuna products will achieve Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Certification by the end of 2026, making it the first of the big three mainstream U.S. tuna brands to achieve 100% MSC certification and carry the MSC blue fish ecolabel across its entire retail portfolio.
The MSC Certification confirms that tuna in every Chicken of the Sea product has been sourced from fisheries that demonstrate- Environmentally sustainable fishing practices from healthy tuna populations; Minimised environmental and ecosystem impacts; Effective fishery management practices.
Andy Mecs, president of Chicken of the Sea International, said, "This certification is not a marketing label. It is proof of responsibility. By the end of the year, every retail size can and pouch that we pack will carry the assurance that our tuna comes from an environmentally sustainable fishery and supports healthy oceans. We're grateful to the Marine Stewardship Council for their rigorous standards and partnership in making this vision possible."
Laura McDearis, US programme director of the Marine Stewardship Council, said, “We are proud to partner with Chicken of the Sea as they continue to demonstrate leadership in their category and in the seafood industry overall. The announcement marks an exciting milestone - bringing more MSC certified sustainable tuna to consumers across United States. This commitment is a meaningful step toward recognising and supporting the fisheries and businesses worldwide that are dedicated to sustainability and to ensuring healthy oceans and seafood for future generations."
