For more than 60 years, Cento has been committed to delivering tuna with the dependable taste, texture and quality our customers expect. From responsible sourcing and careful selection to food-safety controls and complete traceability, every step is designed to help ensure that each can meets our standards.
Cento Tuna is wild caught, carefully prepared and packed to preserve the natural flavor and firm texture of the fish. By combining quality ingredients with established processing standards and responsible sourcing practices, we provide premium tuna you can feel confident serving to your family.
Quality begins with the tuna itself. After being caught, the fish are cleaned and prepared under applicable food-safety and manufacturing requirements. The tuna loins are then carefully evaluated and selected according to Cento’s standards for flavor, color, consistency and texture.
Once selected, the tuna is packed and commercially sterilized to create a shelf-stable product while preserving its natural characteristics. Seafood processors must follow applicable U.S. Food and Drug Administration requirements, including Seafood Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point regulations designed to identify, prevent and control potential food-safety hazards.
These procedures, combined with Cento’s own quality-control requirements, allow us to maintain dependable quality from one can to the next.
Not all canned tuna is the same. The species of tuna, the cut of the fish and the ingredients used for packing can all influence its flavor and texture.
Cento selects premium tuna loins for their clean flavor, firm texture and consistent appearance. Our tuna is solid packed rather than finely shredded, giving it a substantial texture that works beautifully in sandwiches, salads, pasta dishes and traditional Mediterranean recipes.
Packing the tuna in olive oil also helps preserve its moisture and enhances its naturally savory flavor. The result is tender, flavorful tuna that can be enjoyed directly from the can or incorporated into your favorite recipes.
Responsible sourcing is an important part of Cento’s tuna standards. Participating Cento Tuna products carry the blue Marine Stewardship Council label, indicating that the tuna comes from a wild-capture fishery certified to the MSC Fisheries Standard.
MSC certified fisheries are independently assessed according to standards focused on sustainable fish populations, environmental impact and effective fishery management. These standards are intended to support healthy oceans and help preserve seafood resources for the future.
Cento Tuna Fish in Olive Oil is also labeled dolphin safe, reflecting requirements intended to help protect dolphins during tuna fishing operations.
Cento produces MSC Certified Sustainable Seafood, fully in compliance with the Marine Stewardship Council in their efforts to improve the health of the world’s oceans and create a sustainable seafood market through viable fishing practices. Our MSC labeled seafood products can be traced back to MSC certified sustainable wild-capture fisheries.
