What has happened to the tuna?

Opened 3 cans to make tuna salad for supper, very, I mean very very little tuna inside the cans, very little. We used 9 paper towels to get at least enough water out so we could make one and a half sandwiches out of 3 cans of tuna and they were thin sandwiches at that.

Maybe good for cat food, but not for humans

When these were on Instant Savings, I grabbed the limit of them, and now I have buyer's remorse. Nearly every single can has had bits of dark skin, some as large as a US quarter coin but most in the 1/4" range. There's also a lot of water to drain out of each can. Luckily one of my cats seems to like this tuna, for now at least. I'd even be embarassed to give them to a local food bank.

Tuna Soup

At best, the content might be called tuna flakes. You will find no 'chunks'. It's basically a tuna soup, sometimes with questionable bright red or black nuggets. The cat does like it, however, so there's that. IMO it's very much worth the money to buy the Members Mark solid albacore, which is excellent.

Awful Product, do not waste your money !

My first review about this product was silenced, probably too many truths ! This product is bad, really bad. Garbage! Bones, Fish Thorns and Fish Scales on every can of tuna, it's like they have it require to be that way ! Do NOT expect to find any "chunk" at all. Toooooo much WATER, after you drain the can, all that is left is around 2.2 ounces of product or whatever fish or thing they put in the cans !

Dented cans and inconsistent tuna contents.

I got these because they were on sale but I ended up throwing away 3 cans so I didn't save anything. Six of the cans were horribly dented, one was bloated and leaking, one I opened and the fish seemed like ground up sticky bits, one can was good-completely different from the other. I haven't opened the others so it will be a surprise-either pleasant or not so much. Consistency seems to be an issue even if the cans weren't dented up. One of the cats refused to drink the tuna juice-a usually coveted treat. That should tell you something.

Dented Cans!

My son fed my fur babies the tuna and they became ill and are currently being treated for food poisoning. Upon inspections of the item, I found that 80% of the cans are dented. The damage did not occur during shipping, because the shipping box was intact and perfect. I was knowing given the damaged items. I reported it to the club and supposedly, I am being issued a refund. The bigger issue here is the health of my cat and kitten. Also, the expensive vet bill that I am now responsible for! The act of providing customers with damaged items is despicable!

As good as always

This is the only tuna I buy. It always has a great taste and seems to be better quality then some other brands available. Not a huge savings compared to other stores but it's convenient to not have to buy 12 individual cans at a time. Will definitely purchase again.

SHIPPING cans is a problem - DAMAGED contents

Tuna is fine, but rating is for shipping. EACH time I or my family in other states arrived damaged - at least one can is crushed/dinged (usuallymultiple!), like pack was tossed into a too big box without box filler (like crished paper buffer). Same happens with other brands' canned goods deliveries.

Had some bone and scales

Second time I've purchased, and there were pieces of bone and hard scales in with the tuna. Had to be careful and pick them out before using. Lacking a strong tuna taste, too. Needed a lot of salt and pepper to be palletable for sandwiches. Not the best quality.

Starkist Chunk Light Tuna in Water

Surprisingly and unexpectedly this Starkist Chunk Light Tuna in Water looks like a tuna soup. It is stated on the can that out of the 5 oz total weight, only 4 oz of tuna remain after draining the water. Wishful thinking! Out of 4 cans I drained and strained thru a strainer, I obtained ONLY 10 oz of tuna, meaning that in a 5 oz can only 2.5 oz are tuna. Not to mention the annoyance and waste of time to drain and strain the content while also squeezing the water excess during straining with a tablespoon.
