How long has Wild Planet been in business?

The company was founded in 2004 by William Carvalho and Bill McCarthy. These two industry veterans, with a combined 50 years of experience, wanted to start a company that addressed the need to preserve the natural marine habitat while still harvesting wild seafood. It is their vision that these needs can successfully co-exist

Wild Planet Foods emerged from this vision with a product line of eco-preferable wild seafood. The natural ocean ecosystem is an abundant food production resource that must remain that way; the name Wild Planet arose from this concept.

Sustainable Sourcing Facts

True to the Wild Planet mission, every product we offer meets these sustainability criteria:

The BIOMASS of fish is healthy and not overfished

The HABITAT is not damaged by the fishing method

The CATCH METHOD is free from excessive by-catch of juvenile fish and other non-targeted species

Are Wild Planet products gluten-free?

All of our products have been tested for the presence of gluten by a third party testing agency. The results indicate non detectable for gluten. We attribute these results to the fact that our products naturally do not contain gluten – we simply pack fish and salt into our tuna and salmon canned products. Some varieties of our sardines do contain additional ingredients, all of which are also naturally free of gluten.
