Where this number comes from. GreenSpecs scores the evidence a product puts in front of you: the wording of the claim, what the packaging discloses, and whether an independent certifier stands behind any of it. Each score is a GreenSpecs assessment generated by our scoring model from the product label and public claim text on the date shown. It is not a laboratory test, not a lifecycle assessment, and not a safety rating. The full method is published here.
Does Safe Catch back up its claims?
Across the 5 Safe Catch products graded so far the average score is 58 out of 100. Safe Catch tests every tuna for mercury, achieving levels 10 times lower than FDA limits. While this addresses a health concern, the label doesn't detail their fishing methods or broader environmental impact. That is the pattern the table below fills in, product by product.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Safe Catch Yellowfin Tuna | Safe Catch | A- | 75/100 | Safe Catch tests every tuna for mercury, achieving levels 10 times lower than FDA limits. While this addresses a health concern, the label doesn't detail their fishing methods or broader environmental impact. |
