SECTION 1
Safety First, Always
We always strive to go above and beyond to make sure that our working conditions are safe and our seafood quality is the best it can be! If you’ve ever eaten at a restaurant or have worked in a food plant, you know this is the minimum every organization needs to follow.
Below are the guidelines we operate by:
FDA Guidelines
safe seafood for consumption
The Food and Drug Administration (aka FDA) is responsible for consumer protection through the control and supervision of food safety.
Hazard Analyses and Critical Control Points (HACCP)
safe working conditions for our people
The Hazard Analyses and Critical Control Points (aka HACCP) is an internationally recognized management system designed to address potential hazards in the production process.
Together, FDA-Approved HACCP Plans Specifically Address Our Facility’s Operations.
At least one onsite HACCP-certified inspector monitors the facility at all times during production. Meetings are scheduled with our employees to refresh and update guidelines to constantly enhance the facility’s safe working conditions. With safety as our priority, we are able to provide the best in the handling of our seafood to you.
SECTION 2
Sustainability and Accountability
Caring for our home means going above the bare minimum. At Jensen Tuna, we understand the importance of not just maintaining, but bettering the world we live in and where we fish that’s why we work with multiple organizations to ensure accountability and sustainability.
Below are the guidelines we operate by:
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF)
wild seafood certification program
We are proud to be a quality source of seafood with our Certified Authentic Louisiana Wild Seafood through LDWF’s certification program.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
marine life protections
We partner with authorities like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to keep our seas safe and have been part of multiple case studies on the responsible stewardship of pacific yellowfin tuna.
Harvester’s Code of Conduct
sustainability education for fishermen
As part of the Harvester's Code of Conduct, fishermen are required to receive rigorous training and certification by NOAA.
Vessel captains are required to take continuous education programs every two years, where they are introduced and educated on the latest fishing techniques as well as the proper identification and safe handling of by-catches and non-targeted species that are caught during harvesting.
This ensures that the care your seafood goes through starts from the moment they are caught, through our plant, and to our customers.
We harvest our seafood as sustainably as possible to ensure the best quality of seafood to our customers.
Our ongoing certifications with authorities like the LDWF and NOAA demonstrate our commitment to sustainability and ensure we’ll have delicious seafood for generations to come.
SECTION 3
Traceability and Partnerships
You know about how we do things at Jensen Tuna and how committed we are to handling your catch with the utmost care. It’s important to us that you can also see what we’re doing transparently with traceability. You are able to track your fish from boat to market because what is sustainability without transparency?
Below are the guidelines we operate by:
Trustwell
supply chain transparency
Trace Register - an independent company with a web-based registry into which product source and traceability information is entered, secured, and shared among companies throughout the supply chain.
With our help, Trace register has been able to set the industry standard in accountability, traceability, and transparency. Here’s everything we’ve accomplished together. They have acquired leading independent third-party companies to audit their production: the ethical trade service provider
Sedex & SMETA
ethical and sustainable sourcing
Sedex is a resourceful tool for a company to proactively source its products and services ethically and sustainably and improve working conditions in global supply chains.
We’ve also participated in their SMETA audit to demonstrate that our seafood is as ethically and sustainably sourced as possible.
OK Kosher
enforcing kosher standards
OK Kosher is the largest independent kosher services agency. A source of our imported seafood products is a member of Sedex and certified by BRCGS for food safety. A Rabbi evaluates the facility’s production line to ensure that their products follow strict Kashrut’s standards.
Other Collaborations
yellowfin tuna traceability & protections
