Tuna Business Headlines
IN BRIEF
South Korea’s Dongwon F&B and pet food firm Indigo has partnered to introduce the product line ‘Pet Origin Daily Stick,’ in two flavors – Tuna and Tuna and Chicken Breast, with “100 percent human-grade tuna caught by Dongwon vessels,” according to the company. Made with fresh tuna (not byproduct) and backed by rigorous monthly catch-sorting and heavy-metal testing, the product emphasizes safety and quality while offering a low-sodium, soft-stick formulation designed for everyday feeding, reported news site Edaily. An Indigo spokesperson stated that the company is planning on expanding its premium product line to ensure a healthy diet for cats. The price of the 56 g pack was not revealed.
Dongwon Group has been in the pet food business since 1991 under its subsidiary Dongwon F& B, which markets pet food under the Nutriplan brand. The company produces a range of cat and dog foods, including wet and dry foods, treats, tuna protein sticks called Nutristicks, and others, which are also exported. Earlier this year, Atuna reported that the company’s pet food played a vital role in its 2025 upward sales.
Chilean authorities have identified those involved in the theft of a container carrying frozen tuna filets destined for export to Japan. The cargo, stolen on May 19, was recovered by the Criminal Investigation Brigade (BICRIM), which also arrested three suspects in connection with the case. Those detained include the truck driver responsible for moving the shipment and two customs agents, according to local news media.
BICRIM investigators conducted an extensive search that lasted less than two weeks before identifying and apprehending the suspects. Some of the other items that were recovered included batteries and wines, also intended for the Japanese market. All the stolen cargo together was valued at more than CLP 70 million (USD 78,663). A significant portion of the stolen goods was returned to the exporting companies.
