Sorry, Charlie.
So all of big tuna will be foreign owned. Aren’t the Pelosi’s involved with one of these companies in American Samoa?
StarKist=Pelosi
The Pelosi’s are stink fish owners no?
Who was the tuna company - Starkist? - that got busted several years back, when they were underfilling their cans, and a class action lawsuit was brought against them? I thought I saw something weird when I would open a can, and I noticed that there was a lot more broth in there than usual. I just dismissed it as my mind playing tricks, and drained it onto a plate for one of our cats. (She loves that spring water broth. It’s like mother’s milk to her.) Well, we signed on to the suit, the company was found guilty, and sure enough, we got coupons for ten free cans back in September. It took years, but we actually got them. I guess that once in a while, the squeaky wheel still does get the grease. LOL
They’ve kept me from marketing my tuna idea, “Bacon of the Sea.” Now I just need an intern.
A side note. A girl that I went to High School with appeared in a Bumble Bee Tuna television commercial.
Price fixing should be damning for all 3 brands.
And this is the first I’m learning of it.
I worked at a Bumble Bee Seafoods (BBS) salmon cannery in Alaska four summers. Hard work but in six weeks you could make enough for a year of college. A percentage of the cannery workers just couldn’t handle the workload and got reassigned to ‘quiet spaces’ (building wooden boxes for salmon roe, etc.) and were never ‘invited’ back.
Castle and Cook decided to sell BBS my last summer there and eventually it became Bumble Bee, the company in this complaint.
I don’t eat much fish...
And that boys and girls is what happens when they start selling dolphin free tuna!!
I surely hope their quality stays how it is now. They’re the only brand I like.
I grew up in Long Beach. One of our field trips (remember those?) was to the local tuna cannery—either French Sardine (StarKist) or Chicken of the Sea. The smell was horrible and it looked like maybe the worst job on earth. Put me off tuna fish.
Best Tuna brand is Costco’s Kirkland brand tuna. Very good flavor and the can is tightly packed.
Doesn’t Nancy Pelosi own a tuna canning company in Samoa???
