Dear Migros, your M Classic MSC pink tuna bears the Dolphin Safe label. This means that NO dolphins are killed when this tuna is caught. Can you really guarantee this? There are documentaries saying that this label is just money-making. How do you check this? Thank you for your feedback.

Tuna by fishing rod, aha! So that means only the young fish are fished! You can't fish an adult tuna by fishing rod except with a crane fishing rod, which doesn't exist, or do you have videos of it? I only know videos of fishing for young fish! PS: It would be more "sustainable" to simply select the adults and sort out the non-tuna. But you only have a limited influence on that! When Nestle finally starts buying up waters and can thus acquire non-state marine zones as private property, only then can this really be verified and checked! Otherwise there is almost no really good system in wild fishing!
Hello Sonarius, thank you very much for your feedback. We have gladly informed the specialist department about your message. I am sending you the link to the film below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpMWzrzuYOA Kind regards, Richi

Dolphin safe... Caught individually with a fishing rod... The well-known MSC label... These are all just bought labels and don't really have much to do with the promised process...

I know this video, it can also just be a show to show what wants to be seen, in the Indian Ocean they also fish with big nets. About the yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) which is fished in the Indian Ocean: It grows up to 240 centimeters long and weighs 200 kilograms. Now compare this with the video, so it is clear that as I said, young fish are fished off and therefore this is very unwise and unsustainable. So the label fished with a fishing rod is rather superficially good than really meaningful!
Something like that should be noticed when creating such a label. But well, thanks for passing it on. I used to think that we in Europe get the "waste" e.g. tail fin meat in cans that the Japanese pull out, just like we send the leftovers from the pig to China. The video is really disgusting! How they process and clean the fish! I think I will do without canned tuna in the future, it should be automated and the meat of larger fish should be used, these mini small fish directly on the grill, but not in cans!

So to remain fair and to clarify, since apparently the knowledge is not available and this is not directly counter-argued: (and this has nothing to do with India :) On the red can, the pink tuna is written: Ingredient: skipjack tuna (katsuwonus pelamis) The skipjack tuna usually reaches a length of about 110cm with a weight of about 35kg. "The skipjack tuna is one of the most economically important species marketed as "tuna", although it itself does not zoologically belong to the genus of tuna (Thunnus), but only to the family of mackerel and tuna, of which it is a close relative." That's the information you get from Wiki and from the can. So it's not tuna that's sold as tuna, how funny :) From one misery to another XD

That's why it says Thon and not Thun because it's not Thun. But you learn that as a child and wonder why people say it's called Thun and not Thon! GG
