Why is my white tuna not always the colour “white”?
Albacore is classified as white tuna, but there are several factors which can produce visible can-to-can variations in colour. It has been determined through research and processing experience that factors such as location where caught, water depth and temperature, and diet of the fish can affect the appearance, odour, flavour, and /or texture of the fish. This natural variation in raw fish is common to the tuna industry and is sometimes reflected in the finished product. For example, the colour of albacore can vary from nearly sheer to light pink, beige, or tan and still meet established colour requirements. You can be sure, however, that only high quality fish are used in Clover Leaf products.
