Product Details

• Type: Canned tuna, typically in water, oil, or tomato sauce, presented as "steak" (a term used for chunkier, larger pieces of tuna). The "steak" variant often implies higher-quality or thicker cuts compared to standard flaked tuna.
• Packaging: Usually a canned or pouch (retort pouch for freshness). The packaging may include nutritional information, ingredients, and storage instructions.
• Ingredients: Standard for tuna products:
  • Tuna (likely skipjack or yellowfin, depending on sustainability practices).
  • Water/oil/sauce (as the packing medium).
  • Preservatives (e.g., sodium benzoate or potassium sorbate, common in canned fish).
  • Vitamin D (often added, especially in fortified versions).
  • Possible additives: Salt, citric acid, or flavorings.
• Sustainability: Co-op has committed to sustainable seafood sourcing, often labeling products with MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) certification if the tuna is wild-caught from sustainable fisheries. However, this barcode does not directly indicate certification—you’d need to check the product label or Co-op’s website for specifics.
