The U.S. Tuna Foundation (USTF) was established in 1976 to be the representative voice of the U.S. canned tuna industry - including the U.S. tuna fleet and the U.S. canned tuna processors Star-Kist Foods, Bumble Bee Foods, LLC and Chicken of the Sea International.
The USTF speaks for the industry on numerous issues from fishing access arrangements and federal and state regulations, to national legislation and domestic marketing.
We work closely with international conservation organizations to ensure that tunas used in our canned and pouch products remain a healthy and viable renewable resource. We're also in close consultation with national, state and local governments and agencies on a diverse range of issues including consumer friendly labeling, product safety, dolphin-safe fishing, nutrition and marketing.
The U.S. canned tuna industry is proud to provide consumers a healthy and affordable source of lean protein - that is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids that can help protect your heart.
