About Us | Bumble Bee Seafoods

Help People Thrive - For Life

Thrive for life is a big statement. And that's OK. It should feel big because it is our why, the reason for being, the commitment we make to our consumers.

Thrive because we deliver products that genuinely help people no matter their situation. For life because just as we are not for one type of person, we're not just for one phase of life.

Thrive for life unpacks the nutritional benefits our consumers see along the many chapters in their lives - across moments, memories, and milestones. Through protein, Omega 3's, and other micronutrients, so much more is made possible.

Yes, it's a phrase that asks you to stop and think. It's supposed to.

Our Brands

DIFFERENT BRANDS, ALL SEAFOOD LOVE

At Bumble Bee, we’re inspired to bring you delicious nutrition from or inspired by the ocean. That’s why our family of brands includes a full range of quality seafoods from wild-caught salmon to shelf-stable tuna, from oysters and sardines to fresh-frozen albacore–and more.

Bumble Bee Seafoods

Let’s be real. There are those of us who LOVE tuna, and then there are people with their head in the sand. We’re not here to throw shade, but some things are just facts. Like: Bumble Bee Tuna is one of the great joys of life…delicious, super convenient, and definitely more satisfying than your sad little sack of chips. Bumble Bee tuna IS the World’s Best Snack Meal, a fact made up by our marketing team but still a FACT.

We Love Seafood

Like really, really love seafood

We love seafood so much that we’re on a crusade to make the tuna melt the go-to instead of the drive-thru. To have our Albacore tuna melt with avocado knock lasagna off its pedestal of cheesy, comforting glory. To make salmon burgers the sizzle at backyard BBQs across the nation. And to make canned clam linguini the gourmet delight it has every right to be.

We love seafood so much that we’re champions of making sure we protect our oceans so everyone can enjoy seafood, forever.

We love seafood so much that after a night filled with dreams of wild-caught salmon and sustainable sardines, we wake up, make ourselves a tuna scramble and get to work challenging ourselves to rethink how we source, produce and consume all the nutritious goodness the ocean has to offer.

It’s a love story that’s been going on for over 120 years, when Bumble Bee Seafoods was founded by a handful of seafood-loving canners.
