Myths & Truths

Learn the truth behind some classic food myths

Preservatives

Canned seafood products contain preservatives

The truth

Greek and European legislation explicitly prohibit the use of preservatives, particularly in the category of canned fish. For the preservation of canned food, the process that is followed is exactly the one we follow at home. We cook the food item for a long time and then store it in sealed glass or metal containers. This type of heat treatment destroys dangerous micro-organisms, while the airtight storage allows food to be kept at room temperature for a longer time period.

Mercury

Canned tuna is dangerous for our health because it contains mercury.

The truth

Canned tuna of the large species, namely yellowfin tuna* (thunnus albacores*) and white or long-fin tuna (thunnus alalunga), contains medium levels of mercury. Canned tuna of the smallest species, such as Skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis), however, contains less than 1/3 of the mercury concentration of the above species. At TRATA we use only Skipjack tuna and control the concentration of mercury in each batch of tuna, thus maintaining much lower acceptance limits than those set by European legislation. At the same time, we contribute to the rational and sustainable management of catches, since the Skipjack tuna species does not belong to the official Red List of endangered species, as published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). In contrast, other species of tuna, such as yellowfin tuna and white or long-fin tuna, are classified as…

Scurvy

If you consume canned food, you run the risk of getting scurvy.

The truth

Scurvy was once a common disease amongst sailors, explorers, and the military since they were exclusively forced to eat foods high in preservatives and low in vitamin C for long periods of time. In developed countries nowadays, scurvy rarely appears and, if it does, it is the result of poor eating habits and minimal to zero consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. So, by combining your favorite canned TRATA with vegetables rich in vitamin C, which have not undergone intense heat treatment, you enjoy the benefits of a balanced diet.

GMO

Canned fish contain genetically modified organisms

The truth

Canned foods that do not display a GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) label do not contain modified organisms. EU law mandates that all Genetically Modified Foods for human or animal consumption that consist of or are produced with Genetically Modified Organisms (unless their presence is less than 0.9% of the food or the presence of the ingredient is accidental or technically inevitable), bear the GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) label. In Greece especially, the use of the NON-GMO (Non-Genetically Modified Organisms) label on foods that do not originate from Genetically Modified Crops or have not been produced by using Genetically Modified Organisms is misleading advertising and is not acceptable under law.

BPA FREE

All canned food contain coatings and varnishes that are harmful for our health.

The truth

The materials used to make tin cans are not all the same. The quality of the materials that come in contact with our fish are only of exceptional quality and of the highest health safety standards. Our company in recent years has collaborated with leading companies in the production of tin cans, as well as with research institutions, and has invested significant resources to develop and use packaging materials that are free of bisphenol A. We want to communicate this course of action to the world and announce that our new line of tuna products that will be released is marked BPA free.

Histamine

Canned fish can cause scombroid poisoning.

The truth

At KONVA, all our fish undergo thermal processing and sterilization and are packaged within 24 hours, which keeps them fresh in their sterilized containers (cans). This way, we ensure that our fish won't spoil and there is no fear of histamine poisoning, which is mainly caused by improper processing practices.

Environmental Sustainability

Good fishing practices and actions are our top priority for a cleaner planet

Fishing Methods

Purse seine surrounding nets and nets of etherinologist type do not encumber the ocean or coral reefs. They also maintain a small percentage of unwanted catches as well as a guarantee of traceability.

Tuna from all oceans

We source tuna from all oceans, following geographical and time regulations to ensure the smooth reproduction of the fish.

Protected Species

We respect protected species and do not stock endangered Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus Thynnus).

Legally fish

We source only sardines and anchovies that have a legally allowed catchable size

Combating illegal fishing

We collaborate with suppliers that are not listed on the IUU list, i.e. illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, which is one of the most serious threats to the sustainable exploitation of living aquatic resources and undermines international efforts to promote better ocean management and biodiversity protection.

Raw material change

We only source tuna from areas where the fish stocks are in a healthy state and not overfished. For this reason we exclusively source skipjack tuna which is one of the most abundant and sustainable species of tuna in the oceans.

Sustainable Fishing Methods

ISSF

Partnerships with suppliers that are members of the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF).

Dolphin Safe

All TRATA Tuna products have the label dolphin-safe used to denote that our suppliers respect the laws and regulation designed for the Dolphins’ protection during tuna fishing

MSC

The TRATA supply chain is certified by the MSC which ensures consumers that our catch is from certified and sustainable fishing spots.

Fish Auctions

Greek fish auctions are among our largest suppliers of sardines and anchovies. They strictly adhere to fishing regulations and we work closely with them by having a permanent representative at their facilities.

BSCI

Cooperation with suppliers certified according to BSCI or according to another labor standard related to humane working conditions, worker protection and the prohibition of child labor.
