THE DOLPHIN SAFE SYMBOL & GREENSEAS TUNA

The 'Dolphin Safe' symbol on Greenseas Tuna products is our customers guarantee that innocent dolphins are not killed in the Greenseas name and they can isolate and have confidence in the tuna brands that are sensitive to the dangers facing the dolphin.

The symbol guarantees that Greenseas products:

  • Do not come from the Eastern Tropical Pacific area where dolphin school with tuna.
  • The tuna has not been caught by drift or gill net methods.

Greenseas tuna is caught in either Australian waters or in the Western Pacific area where dolphin do not school with tuna.
Greenseas is committed to working towards a clean industry with 'dolphin safe' factories worldwide.

HJ Heinz Company Policy

The HJ Heinz Company has a global policy with regards all Seafood products produced by the company under such brands as StarKist, Greenseas and Petit Navire.

Heinz is committed to protecting dolphins, and we are proud to share with you our worldwide policy to save dolphin lives, which was first announced in April 1990.

This policy states that:

  • Heinz will not purchase any tuna caught in association with dolphins.
  • Heinz continues its practice of refusing to purchase tuna caught with gill or drift nets, which are known to be dangerous to many forms of marine life. Heinz condemns the use of these indiscriminate fishing methods that trap dolphins, whales, and other marine life along with the intended catch of fish.

StarKist was the first major American tuna canning company to make this commitment to the public. We remain committed to this policy and require certification that all tuna we purchase is dolphin-safe. Our dolphin-safe policy is reflected on packs with a special "Dolphin Safe" logo.
