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.

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.
