Pantry Essential

This tuna is convenient, tasty, and perfect for quick lunches and meal prep. The cans are easy to store, and the quality is consistent. Great source of protein and an excellent value.

Not great tuna! Not sure why it's sold in stores!

Cat foodish consistency and appearance, definitely will avoid this brand in the future. The price differential between this and other brands is in fact quality-based. It is still, in spite of appearances, human food, and it does taste fine, you could make tuna salad with it or something.

This isn't very good at all.

I always buy the Membersmark tuna. I thought I was ordering Membersmark, but Starkist arrived.....this is just a sad excuse for tuna. TOooo much water - it has been shredded of great taste. soooo, yea - don't buy it. Get Membersmark - you won't be disappointed.

Good Price Poor Quality

Although the price point for this brand is good, the value for what is inside the cans is poor. Tuna is mushy and not high quality. Will spend more next time to get better quality from brands I trust to deliver solid yellow fin or skipjack tuna.

Now with more water!

I’ve been buying this tuna for a while and use a can strainer to get the water out. I notice the strainer sinks further in the can now than it did before which means there’s less tuna and more water—of course, same price.

Tuna mush

The tuna is mush. It is almost like they took good tuna and ran it througha blender and then canned it.

Disgusting

Theres nothing chunky about this tuna. The taste was horrible, like it was store in a paperbag! The color was not white, but more dark brown in sveral spots. There was the presence of bone pieces in the meat. Never buying this. I always buy albacore, but Sams didn't have it.

Won't buy again

I though I would give this one more try as I have been buying this for years but recently the taste has changed. And if you have it in the fridge for 2 days it stinks, smell uber fishy. My cats won't even eat it. Also a lot of negative reviews online with same complaints. Also discovered it has a fair amount of mercury in it because of the tuna they now use.

A watery mess

This tuna was more water than meat. I was shocked when I opened the first can, it was so watery. Most tuna has some chunks to it even church light tuns, but not this brand. I don’t really even know how to explain how watery it is. Such a waste, won’t buy this brand again.

Beware of Shipping

I recently went to the store and purchased a decent amount of groceries and other stuff. When I got home I realized I had forgotten the tuna. I ordered the tuna, like I had done before, and added a couple other things too. When the box came the tuna cans were all dented, unwrapped from each other, and fell out of the box onto my floor from the bottom of the box. I was sooo upset!!! I tried to talk to people but apparently certain chats are only for certain reasons. They don't make returns or replacements easy for you!
