I have been buying this product for years with satisfaction. But the last two cans I have opened have been awful. It's a pinkish brown goo, not the solid white tuna it used to be. I did an internet search but can't find much about this. Anybody know what's up? I'm thinking I may have to say "Sorry Charlie!" ... stirred anti-clockwise. | ||

Use the word "mush" in your search terms. Lots of people commenting, and across a lot of brands of formerly good tuna. I think it is what they squeegee of the boat decks and pour out of their fishing boots. "the meaning of life, is to give life meaning" ✡ Ani Yehudi אני יהודי Le'olam lo shuv לעולם לא שוב! | |||

We only buy Kirkland brand Albacore at Costco. We have never gotten anything but top quality from them. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

People that buy tuna packed in water, are the same people that complain that pork is too fatty. | |||
|
| probably a good thing I don't have a cut |
I just buy the ready made tuna packs. It's just easier.  | |||

Whether starkist, Bumble Bee, Kirkland brand, whatever, it all comes from the same source and just repackaged basically.

Tuna comes packed in oil, buy the water pack, and you deserve what you get. I have heard that when the canned tuna vendors first started to break into the salmon market, they used the slogan "buy tuna, it doesn't turn pink in the can," seems this is no longer true. | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
Kirkland as well, haven't had a can of pink mush yet, it's always solid white tuna... | |||

We buy fresh albacore tuna off the boats every year and pressure-can a couple of cases of 8 ounce Ball jars. Packed in extra virgin olive oil. It's damn good. | |||

I can't eat the ordinary el cheapo mass brands of tuna from the grocery store, gives me heartburn, tastes what I assume is probably cat food. However, Costco has really good tuna, I like the Costco Albacore, good stuff Maynard!!! There is a topic thread running on our statewide website, OKShooters.com, about this topic. It's titled something like Have You Noticed Significant Decline In Product Quality and Quantity. It's been a very interesting thread, up to 7 pages now. Link to it . | |||

I wonder if they are scraping tuna carcasses instead of packing actual meat? Much like the pink slime production method for beef? | |||

Well CRAP! I just bought 6 cans at H-E-B the other day. I'll report back if I open a can and it sucks... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way.

Long ago we switched to "premium" canned tuna from the likes of American Tuna and Wild Planet. More costly but you get what you pay for. Exceptionally tasty quality products. No more "cat food" for us! Might want to do some net research about these brands. There are significant differences in harvesting, processing (in-can cooking, etc.), packing fluids, and so on from the name brands you folks have been discussing thus far in this thread. FishOn is lucky to be able to get his the way he described. What I'm describing is the next best.

I like those too. I travel for work a lot and I pack those along with some wraps and it makes a nice low calorie lunch. The Thai Chili is my favorite. “Everybody wants a Sig in the sheets but a Glock on the streets.” -bionic218 04-02-2014 | |||

Once you’ve had fresh tuna, eating anything from a can is akin to eating MREs. Working in the CG we were always near fresh seafood and I admit I’m a seafood snob now.

| Woke up today.. Great day! |
This! My office will not tolerate the brand names. Kirkland or Sam's club white albacore tuna in water are far better choices. | |||

^^^^^^^^^ This is true. One of my companies ran security at Chicken of the Sea in Lyons, Ga.. Several brand names from the same processed product. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||
