Starkist Tuna Consumer Reviews - Page 2

PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA -- I opened up a can of starkist fancy Albacore. It was the nastiest tuna and I refused to eat it. It was fish mush. So bad I threw it in the garbage. This is what I pay for I don't think so.

I buy chunk albacore for a reason-- I prefer white chunks of tuna. Opened a can of chunk white tuna and found a watery mess of very tiny pieces. I was in a rush and ate it. It did not smell abnormal. Within one hour I was vomiting with painful stomach cramps. WTH?? So one: This is deceitful practices. I have the right to get what I pay for. Two: Have you ever thrown tuna up??? Enough said.

WELLS, NEVADA -- Family used to eat tuna and buy ten twelve cans at a time. Wife and I are alone now and went to buy ten cans of it to save money. When we opened the first can of that watered skin of a rotted carp that been laying out in the south Korean sun for six months we started gagging. Now can I give it to my cats or just throw it away?

I love tuna, but this has put me off it forever. It was not solid and it was not white. I ate it and ended up with horrible stomach cramps and totally nauseous. This is really sad that StarKist has sunk this low to produce such an inferior and disgusting product. I originally bought three cans. I threw the other two cans went in the trash. I was going to feed to the cats, but cruelty to animals is against the law... sorry Charlie.

PITTSBURGH, ILLINOIS -- I purchased Starkist Tuna at Wal-Mart in the U.S. but the can says product of Ecuador. I was half way through eating this canned tuna, I bit into something hard, spit it out and it was a piece of lead! I will never purchase Starkist again, don't want lead poisoning.

Starkist solid white tuna is no longer white. It is mixed with nasty trash parts of the fish. I have opened many cans recently and some smell foul. The tuna looks like a can of cat food!! I have purchased this company solid white tuna for over 20 years and I'm so disgusted by what I have recently found in the cans and it wasn't just one can - it was multiple cans from different times of purchase. I love eating tuna. But I'm switching companies. And after the health inspection reviews and lack of recalls canning In unhealthy conditions. Bad company bad company!! No more tuna from you guys!

I've been reading complaints about the inferior quality of solid white canned tuna fish, and lately I've been noticing the same thing. So last night when I opened four cans of Starkist solid white tuna in water, I was a little worried about what would be inside. I was pleasantly surprised to see that all four cans actually contained solid white, non-mushy tuna, and no bones! Also, it didn't have an overly fishy smell and tasted great.

I was a little disappointed that the cans have been reduced from six ounces to five ounces, but the quality of the tuna more than made up for the difference. I've been using Starkist for years because of all the major brands it was the one with the most consistent quality, and also the only one with no bones. I realize the bones are harmless, but if given a choice, I'd rather have my tuna bone free. After all these years, it's nice to know that Starkist is still rejecting Charlie, the tuna with good taste, for the tuna that tastes good! Sorry, Charlie.

Just read the other reviews and was trying to see if anyone else had experienced this problem. I usually buy another brand but bought this due to being on sale. I bit into what I thought was egg shell and spit it out. Once again, I bit into it and realized it looked like fish scales. As I went through with my fingers to check, there were fish scales throughout. Very upsetting, and hope it is not like that with many more. Just wanted people to check closely so that especially no children have this experience.

I totally agree. I have never had any issues with tuna before but this time. UGH... I found a 1" by 1/4" bone in my tuna. I don't think Charlie would be too happy. I know I am not.

I have always preferred Starkist over other brands of tuna but lately on several occasions I have had large pieces of bone in the canned tuna (albacore) that I have bought. Looks like the quality of Starkist is going down.
