Some tuna now and then probably won't hurt. But a steady diet of tuna prepared for humans can lead to malnutrition because it won't have all the nutrients a cat needs. And, too much tuna can cause mercury poisoning.
Thanks to a SmartBlend® of high-quality ingredients, Purina ONE® True Instinct Tuna Wet Cat Food Recipe in Sauce nurtures your cat's whole-body health. It's also made with real tuna, and the great taste will keep your cat coming back meal after meal.
The Bottom Line Giving your cat a bit of tuna every once in a while is not a big deal. However, due to the dangers of mercury poisoning, you really should not give your feline canned tuna fish on the daily. The recommended SAFE allowance is no more than 1 tablespoon per week.
Tuna should be only a sometimes-treat for your cat, and it's best to mix it in with your cat's regular food. A full can of tuna is far too much for a single serving. One teaspoon of tuna a few times a week should be enough. It should not make up a significant portion of their diet.
Q: Is canned tuna farm raised or wild caught? A: Tuna is a salt-water fish and found in the oceans throughout the world. Most commercially-available canned or pouch tuna is wild caught. Farm raised tuna is relatively new and there are very few tuna farms.
Tuna are remarkable and impressive wild animals. The Atlantic bluefin can reach ten feet in length and weigh as much as 2000 pounds (more than a horse).
Tuna is incredibly nutritious and packed with protein, healthy fats and vitamins — but it should not be consumed every day. The FDA recommends that adults eat 3–5 ounces (85–140 grams) of fish 2–3 times a week to get enough omega-3 fatty acids and other beneficial nutrients ( 10 ).
Italy's Bolton Group announced the acquisition of Wild Planet Foods, a pioneer and innovation leader in the US sustainable canned fish market. This agreement follows the recent 2019 acquisition of Tri Marine, one of the world's leading companies in the sustainable tuna supply chain.
In general, wild-caught fish are often healthier as they often have less contamination from man-made toxins. Their diet is more natural and is made up of algae and even smaller fish. Wild-caught tuna also come into less contact with bacteria and parasites and also have higher levels of trace elements.
Don't pay much attention to "wild-caught" or "dolphin-safe." Wild-caught just means the tuna wasn't farmed—and with canned tuna, it usually isn't. "Dolphin-safe" was a buzzword decades ago when dolphin bycatch was a problem, but that's no longer the case.
Chef Kimura tells Fine Dining Lovers that farmed tuna has an overly rich taste compared to wild tuna, stating that it's overly fishy with little umami and the quality of the fat on the meat is looser. Wild tuna, on the other hand, Chef Kimura says is fuller in its umami and has a more balanced and refined fat content.
