# Single-Serve Tuna Packets The Elite Single Serving Pouches are Packet with Low-Mercury Tuna By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-11-10 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowmercury-tuna References: [trndmonitor](https://trndmonitor.com/food-spotlight-safe-catch-tuna-elite-single-serving-pouch/) & [safecatch](https://safecatch.com/buy-safe-catch-tuna/elite-pouch/) The seafood brand Safe Catch is now offering its low-mercury tuna in [single-serve pouches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-of-the-sea-packet-up-kits) so that consumers can safely snack on tuna anytime. The elite Elite Single Serving Pouches from Safe Catch are pre-portioned packets of low-mercury tuna that are free from water, oil, fillers, preservatives or GMO-soy broth. Unlike other brands, Safe Catch only uses premium, sustainably caught wild tuna that has been tested to ensure its mercury levels are 10 times lower than the current [FDA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/companion-diagnostic-test) limit. The tuna is not only low in mercury, but because it is not packaged in a can, it is high in the Omega 3s that are often lost during the precooking and canning process. For consumers looking for a healthier and more sustainable snack option, these single-serve tuna packets are a perfect option. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Single-serve Convenience:** Single-serve packaging is an innovative departure from traditional canning and opens opportunities for brands to explore snack-focused markets and health-conscious consumers. - **Sustainable Fishing Practices:** Brands that prioritize environmentally-friendly fishing techniques add greater appeal to health and eco-conscious consumers. - **Mercury Testing Standardization:** Better monitoring of mercury levels in seafood provides opportunities for brands to highlight transparent testing standards and sustainable policies. ### Who This Affects Most - **Canned Seafood:** Canned seafood brands can expand market reach by catering to snack-focused consumers and emphasizing sustainable fishing practices. - **Healthy Snack Foods:** Single-serve tuna packets cater to health-focused consumers looking for convenient, protein-rich snack options without sacrificing freshness and sustainability. - **Environmental/natural Products:** Brands who focus on an environmentally-friendly business approach and prioritize sustainable fishing practices will attract eco-conscious consumers seeking products they feel good about. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mercury-Tested Canned Seafood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/safe-catch-canned-smoked-rainbow-trout.md) - [Snackable Tuna Tins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bumble-bee-snackers.md) - [Flavored Tuna Packets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-of-the-sea-wild-caught-light-tuna-packet.md) - [Convenient Seafood Packets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-of-the-sea-1.md) - [Wild Tuna Snack Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-tuna-snack-pack.md) - [Chef-Inspired Seafood Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seafood-snack.md) - [Portable Tuna Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuna-pot.md) - [Canned Eco-Conscious Seafood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-planet.md) - [Convenient Seafood Salad Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-of-the-sea-packet-up-kits.md)
