Posted February 11th, 2008 at 8:07PMMy April 17th post lamenting the discontinuation of Tuno (The Case Of The Missing Tuno) has continued to generate traffic and comments long after it was initially written. In the face of such strong opposition to pulling Tuno from the shelves, I’ve finally gotten around to creating a form letter for indignant veg-heads to complain about this great injustice!
rah rah rah!
Tuno was originally produced by Worthington Foods, Inc. (I always found it under the “Natural Touch” brand name). At some point in time, Worthington was bought by Morningstar (a Kellogg company itself), and Tuno was subsequently discontinued.

Battle Creek, MI 49016RE: DISCONTINUATION OF WORTHINGTON FOODS / NATURAL TOUCH / MORNINGSTAR TUNO TUNA FISH SUBSTITUTE PRODUCT
I was disheartened to learn that Kellogg has discontinued production of its vegetarian tuna product, Tuno, which went under the Worthington Foods, Inc., Natural Touch, and Morningstar brand names. I would like to urge Kellogg to bring back the Tuno product.
As a vegetarian, tuna alternatives are hard to come by, and Tuno was a welcomed relief to the many faux beef and chicken products lining the shelves. The canned and frozen varieties of Tuno were easy substitutes for recipes calling for tuna. Vegetarians and others who choose not to eat tuna were still able to enjoy old standards like tuna noodle casserole or a tuna salad sandwich.
Alternative vegetarian tuna options still exist, but they are only available in select areas or online. Tuno was widely available because of Kellogg’s large market share and clout. I know many others share my same concern about and craving for this product. Please bring it back to supermarket shelves everywhere!

In the meanwhile, I’ve found a few faux-tuna alternatives. I’ve yet to try any, and ordering online won’t be as convenient as picking some up at the local health food store, but what’s the alternative? No fake tuna? That’s just not an option, folks.
Tuna (Not!) Salad Mix by Dixie Diner – sold out, currently, at Vegan Essentials
May Wah’s vegetarian tuna – frozen
May Wah’s vegetarian tuna steak – this is actually a tuna steak(!)
Scott Adams Foods Veggie Tuna – can’t order online, but see if it’s available near you
