Comment from Only Australian Groceries:
Unfortunately most of our canned fish products are from outside Australia. I know it seems crazy!!! Australia is an Island surrounded by plenty of fish, yet there doesn't seem to be an Australian company canning fish in Australia. If anyone ever finds an Australian fish canning company please let us know. We have been searching for years now.
We stock the Always Fresh and Fabulous brands because at least they are Australian companies and pay taxes in Australia. We have rated the canned fish products as (A) = Australian owned, imported product.
If you can suggest another brand that would be more suitable for us to stock, I would really appreciate your help.

1 Score out of 5
The tuna was rated on flavour and appearance:
5: Light-coloured with a mild fishy flavour and little or no dark muscle. When described as ‘chunks’, no more than about 30% was detached pieces of fish.
4: Mostly light-coloured but has obvious dark muscle included and a stronger fishy flavour. When described as ‘chunks’, these are a bit mushy with a lot of loose fragments of fish.
3: Very obvious presence of dark meat with a strong fishy flavour, or has a slight off flavour (see Testing the taste).
2: A lot of dark meat with a strong flavour, or a very obvious off flavour.
1: Cat food.
2 Stated percentage of tuna
The manufacturer’s claim of the amount of tuna in the can, as a percentage of all the contents. Under the Food Standards Code it will be mandatory to provide this information on the label after December 20 this year.
3 Actual drained percentage of tuna
We drained the contents of each can through a sieve and measured the weight of tuna, converting it to a percentage of the weight of the contents as a whole. We followed the method for canned tuna in the international food standard (Codex Alimentarius). Each result is an average of three cans bought from different stores. See Canned or conned? for more on this.
4 Total fat/omega-3s/sodium
The manufacturer’s statement of the amount of fats and sodium per 100 g of drained fish, expressed as a percentage for total fat.

The tuna was rated on flavour and appearance:
5: Light-coloured with a mild fishy flavour and little or no dark muscle. When described as ‘chunks’, no more than about 30% was detached pieces of fish.
4: Mostly light-coloured but has obvious dark muscle included and a stronger fishy flavour. When described as ‘chunks’, these are a bit mushy with a lot of loose fragments of fish.
3: Very obvious presence of dark meat with a strong fishy flavour, or has a slight off flavour (see Testing the taste).
2: A lot of dark meat with a strong flavour, or a very obvious off flavour.
1: Cat food.
2 Stated percentage of tuna
The manufacturer’s claim of the amount of tuna in the can, as a percentage of all the contents. Under the Food Standards Code it will be mandatory to provide this information on the label after December 20 this year.
3 Actual drained percentage of tuna
We drained the contents of each can through a sieve and measured the weight of tuna, converting it to a percentage of the weight of the contents as a whole. We followed the method for canned tuna in the international food standard (Codex Alimentarius). Each result is an average of three cans bought from different stores. See Canned or conned? for more on this.
4 Total fat/omega-3s/sodium
The manufacturer’s statement of the amount of fats and sodium per 100 g of drained fish, expressed as a percentage for total fat.

Comment from Only Australian Groceries:
Unfortunately most of our canned fish products are from outside Australia. I know it seems crazy!!! Australia is an Island surrounded by plenty of fish, yet there doesn't seem to be an Australian company canning fish in Australia. If anyone ever finds an Australian fish canning company please let us know. We have been searching for years now.
We stock the Always Fresh and Fabulous brands because at least they are Australian companies and pay taxes in Australia. We have rated the canned fish products as (A) = Australian owned, imported product.
If you can suggest another brand that would be more suitable for us to stock, I would really appreciate your help.
We have a rating system for the products on our website:
AAAA = Australian owned, Australian made from Australian materials or ingredients.
AAA = Australian owned, Australian made from local and imported ingredients.
AA = Australian owned, imported product, packaged in Australia.
A = Australian owned, imported product.
