Sustainable Seafood Assessment: Lidl-Tun Impressed by 'Very Good' Quality at Affordable Prices for Ocean-Friendly Food Options
In a commitment to sustainability, Lidl Germany has been transitioning to certified Thunfisch from sustainable fishing sources since 2021. This shift is particularly evident in their popular "Nixe Thunfisch Filets in eigenem Saft" product, which is now available in over 3,250 branches permanently.
The "Nixe Thunfisch Filets in eigenem Saft" by Lidl has received a "sehr gut" test result for residue levels, ensuring that customers can enjoy their tuna with peace of mind. The product is certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to sustainable fishing.
The MSC certification guarantees that fished stocks remain at a high level, fishing gear is used responsibly, bycatch is minimized, and the habitat of fish and other marine creatures is preserved in the long term. This makes Lidl's decision to carry the MSC seal on their "Nixe Thunfisch Filets in eigenem Saft" a significant contribution to the protection of marine ecosystems, especially given the high demand for tuna.
The editorial team of ÖKO-TEST paid particular attention to possible residues in the filets, such as Methylquecksilber, during their testing. The "Nixe Thunfisch Filets in eigenem Saft" by Lidl passed with flying colours, earning them the top rating.
Priced at just 1.29 Euro per can (net weight: 150 grams; basic price: 8.60 Euro/kilogram), the Lidl Thunfisch filets are among the most affordable products in the test. Since the test, the price has been further reduced, making sustainable seafood even more accessible to consumers.
Lidl's commitment to sustainability in the area of fish cans is a commendable step towards responsible consumption and environmental protection.
