The Makers of Century Tuna Now Want You to Try Fish-Free Tuna

If you’ve ever wanted to go vegan but can’t say goodbye to tuna, you’re in luck. 

The makers of the Century Tuna have introduced a plant-based alternative to the fish meat that’s completely fish meat-free. unMEAT Fish-free Tuna is made with 100-percent based plant-based ingredients—non-GMO soy, natural oils, and flavors—but still possesses the taste, texture, and appearance of regular tuna.

In a news release, Century Pacific Food, Inc (CNPF). said it had actually launched unMEAT Fish-free Tuna about two months ago and is now distributed in over 500 retail outlets overseas, including in the United States, Singapore, and United Arab Emirates.

UnMEAT Fish-free Tuna is part of CNPF’s unMEAT plant-based meat alternatives business, which the company has been expanding since it was launched in 2020. Last year, the company rolled out its shelf-stable unMEAT luncheon meat line and unCHEESE, a plant-based dairy alternative. Earlier this year, a localized breakfast range was introduced to the Philippine domestic market. 

“unMEAT Fish-free Tuna is a gamechanger,” said CNPF’s COO Greg Banzon. “Much of the focus in the industry has been on meat alternatives. On the other hand, seafood alternatives remain a wide-open space where we see pent up demand from consumers looking for healthier and more sustainable options at an accessible price.”

CNFP introduced unMEAT “in response to the expanding consumer preference for healthier, better-for-you, and better-for-the-planet food choices. The company goes by the philosophy that eating plant-based food should be easy, thus offerings are made and priced as close as possible to their real meat and seafood counterparts.”

Today CNFP’s unMEAT products are distributed in countries like the UAE, United States, China, Australia, and Singapore. 

A report by a research company said the global plant-based meat market is projected to reach $24.8 billion by 2030. The market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.3 percent from 2022 to 2030.
