The tinned fish you've trusted for decades hides a dark secret. Major UK brands linked to slavery, broken promises, and inflammatory oils disguised as healthy protein. One brand charges premium prices whilst their quality collapses. Another proudly displays sustainability labels whilst funding ocean destruction. Some cost fifty pounds per kilo yet disappoint customers. We expose the eleven worst offenders and reveal the five brands actually worth buying. Your cupboard needs checking right now.

GOOD TINNED FISH (Pole & Line)
1. Sainsbury's Spring Water [Blue tin] Tuna
2. Waitrose MSC Tuna Steak in spring water
3. Fish Forever (Cornwall) Sardines in spring water
4. Fish Forever Sardines in Lemon Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Never buy tinned fish in Sunflower oil.

I wonder if the CANCER PANDEMIC in the WESTERN WORLD is mainly down to cheating companies feeding the population this SHIT.
Just another example of WESTERN governments NOT taking care of their people.

We are being slowly poisoned, conned, and our long term health seriously compromised.
Companies are being moved around and sold to increase their profit margins with lower quality. The rely on those lower income families who cannot afford better quality products for a reasonable price. It's injust, arrogant and criminal at best.

20 years ago, I met a French fisherman (from the island of Groix) who worked on boats that used the pole and line method to fish tuna. Hard work, but well worth it. Real fishermen (not slaves) are really concerned about overfishing.

I'm writing this from a hospital bed, suffering severe malutrition since I stopped eating due to watching your videos.😂😂😂

Wow absolutely disgusting, by looks of it nothing is safe to eat or drink everything is poisoned, why isn't anyone stopping all of this from happening, who ever is responsible will go down in history as a mass murderer 😢

Ortiz very notably does not list what olive oil they use: not a named brand, not extra virgin olive oil, just "Spanish olive oil", the omission suggests that they are hiding something: if they were using a good quality olive oil, they would make a feature of it.
This is in contrast to the Fish4ever offering that specifies Soil Association certified organic extra virgin olive oil - I would recommend the Fish4Ever.

According to current science, sunflower oil is only inflamatory when reheated to high temperatures or overly processed. I guess the sunflower oil used in the fish products fall in one of these 2 categories.

The food industry is build on selling lies and deceiving customers.
They operate on the principle that products have no value at all, but lies do!

Excellent information, thank you! And while I am well aware of the toxicity of seed oils, maybe even particularly rape seed, most people aren't aware that they really were developed in the early 1900s to fuel cars. The fact that any diesel engine happily runs on used up oil from the fish and chip shop proves the point! So maybe a deep dive into seed oils might be really useful! Also that even premium 'extra virgin olive oil' nowadays gets cut with cheap seed oils for more profit1 Thank you!
