Can You Eat Costco Tuna Raw? The Sushi-Grade Truth

Can you eat Costco tuna raw? In this video, I break down the FDA parasite destruction guidelines, why yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) is exempt, and how to properly select tuna for sashimi, poke, and nigiri. It’s not about “sushi grade.” It’s about species, handling, and technique. I’ve prepared tuna like this for nearly 20 years without issue — but as with any raw food, bacterial risk is always a consideration. Handle properly and enjoy.
