Plant-Powered Tuna Salads

John West's Plant-Based Salads Feature a Tuna-Style Protein Alternative

Harissa and Indian are two varieties of John West's new plant-powered tuna salads that are flavorful, packed with protein and convenient to eat on the go. Both of these alt-protein salads are made with couscous, lentils and a tuna-style alternative made with soy and wheat protein. Other featured ingredients include colorful veggies, chickpeas, split peas, plus wild rice and quinoa. These two new meals are free from artificial ingredients and sold in 100% recyclable packaging.

With the launch of these plant-powered tuna salads, the 166-year-old seafood company is venturing into alt protein for the first time in its home country.
