Good Catch’s plant-based, deli-style tuna is now available by the pound in the prepared foods section of WFM in California, Oregon, Washington, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. The offering will be available in additional locations in the coming months.
