VN SEAFOOD is currently offering TS Smoke (Tasteless Smoke) processed tuna, specifically for the Canadian market. This product is treated without the use of CO gas, which is strictly banned in Canada for food processing.
Instead, the tuna is processed using TS Smoke – a method that helps preserve the red color and freshness of the fish without affecting its natural flavor. To apply this technology effectively, the raw material must be high-quality tuna, either fresh or deeply frozen at -35°C. This requirement makes TS Smoke tuna more expensive than CO-treated tuna exported to the U.S.
Limited Supply – High Technical Standards
Currently, only a few factories in Vietnam are capable of producing TS Smoke tuna that meets Canadian standards. As a result, this product is not widely available in the market. VN SEAFOOD’s ability to offer it presents a worthwhile opportunity for partners seeking a stable, high-quality supply that complies with Canada’s strict import regulations.
Price Forecast: Likely Increase During Rainy Season
From July to October, Vietnam enters its rainy and typhoon season – a period when tuna catch volumes typically decline significantly. This is expected to lead to a 5–10% increase in raw material prices, potentially higher depending on how the weather develops.
Therefore, for products that require deeply frozen, premium raw materials like TS Smoke tuna, placing orders early is a practical way to minimize risks related to both cost and supply shortages.
VN SEAFOOD still has available production and delivery capacity for this product in the coming months. If you're interested, feel free to contact us to discuss delivery timelines, product specifications, and other conditions in more detail.
