Product Information

Light - Have a job that involves long periods of sitting (office-based / driving) or are home-based and sitting for much of the day. Typical jobs: office worker, sales rep, bus/taxi/lorry driver. Red Salmon and Pink Salmon are both cold water fish that live in the Pacific Ocean, but swim to fresh water sources to spawn. Ours are caught wild in the rivers, lakes and estuaries of Alaska, where the waters are among the cleanest in the world. So far so similar, but there are some differences coming up. Our suppliers are required to sign up to our Business Ethics and Labour Code of Conduct, Vessel Improvement Program and Code of Conduct, all of which aim to provide clear guidance on our standards and to maintain ethical policies and practices. This helps you ensure that you can access responsibly sourced fish.

In recognition of our responsibly sourced fish, John West has been awarded the Marine Stewardship Council ‘UK Canned Brand of the Year’ for the last three years. Meanwhile, Thai Union is the highest rated food products company on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and the world’s leading seafood business on the Seafood Stewardship Index.

Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned. When we worked with WWF between 2014-2018, we evaluated the sustainability of our wild caught seafood in Europe. The results were made public through Thai Union’s inaugural European ‘Sourcing Transparency Report’. But why? If you didn’t know already, oily fish contains something called Omega-3, and Omega-3 is good news for our health (especially our heart). Long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) reduce blood pressure and blood-clotting, regulate the rhythm of our heartbeat and reduce triglyceride levels. So what’s a portion? Well, if we’re getting technical, 140g (4.9oz) constitutes a portion, but as long as you’re getting approximately a fillet on your plate, you should be fine. In terms of protein, a 100g serving of John West Salmon contains as much as a pint of milk, and in terms of calories contains about 130 calories for the pink variety and 150 calories for the red.

The differences in taste also mean that both fish are used in different ways, when it comes to preparing recipes. The more intense flavour of Red Salmon for instance makes it ideal for dishes containing other highly flavoured ingredients, such as olives. In an alternative kitchen, Pink Salmon’s more delicate flavour makes it perfect for salads or fishcakes. Another difference is in the weight, with Red Salmon on average coming in at 6 pounds, but Pink Salmon being a little lighter at around 4 pounds. You can taste a difference too, because Red Salmon tend to have a richer, fuller flavour and a firmer texture, whilst Pink Salmon have a milder flavour and a softer texture.The short and simple answer to ‘Is canned tuna cooked?’ is ‘yes it is!’ In fact it’s actually cooked twice, as you’ll soon find out.

Salmon is one of the nation’s best-loved fish, and with good reason. It’s a real quality source of protein, and it provides us with Omega 3 and vitamin D in abundance. Oh, and it’s delicious. Salmon is a pretty straightforward fish to cook with, but if you’re short of ideas, we have a comprehensive list of salmon recipes here.

After the cans of tuna have been sealed, another cooking session takes place where extremely high temperatures are reached. This is called retort cooking and happens inside giant, specially constructed pressure cookers. Heavy - Active for much of the day, walking non-stop and carrying objects. Typical jobs: hospital/ward nurse, waitressing in a busy restaurant, cleaner, porter, labourer/construction worker, gardener, farm worker. Leisure Activity Level Other reasons to include canned Salmon in your diet, is the fact that it’s relatively low in saturated fat and an excellent source of two vital vitamins. In just one 100g serving for instance, you’ll find the recommended daily intake of Vitamin B12, which contributes to normal red blood cell formation. And that’s about it really. Two fairly similar fish with lots of good things going for them. They both taste great, they’re both good for you, they both make excellent sandwiches and brilliant meals and they’re both very popular with you, our consumers. So as far as we’re concerned, if there were a talent contest for John West Red Salmon and John West Pink Salmon, they’d both come first. Providing safe, legal and freely-chosen employment in our facilities and supply chain is critically important to us and our parent company, Thai Union.
