The MSC says they can be used responsibly, and does certify some fisheries using FADs, so look for a specific “FAD free” guarantee if you want to avoid them.

For many of us, sustainability feels like a basic requirement, not something we should have to pay extra for. Pole and line caught, which is a big plus for a budget brand, but it looks dreadful and the taste is something like the dregs of a fish market.

When I visited the Sea Sisters cannery in Dorset, Cowan pointed out that fisheries have to pay to get the certification – money that goes to the independent organisations or conformity assessment bodies who carry out the assessments. A high consumption of salt (or sodium) can cause raised blood pressure, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Sugary drinks (such as sodas, fruit beverages, and fruit juices and nectars) should be limited as much as possible (no more than 1 glass a day).I have these for my lunch of if I know I will be out all day and may struggle to find something suitable.
