CNN reports that people who bought StarKist tuna between February 19, 2009 through October 31, 2014 can take home $25 in cash or $50 of tuna due to a class action lawsuit settlement claiming that StarKist put less tuna in their cans than advertised. Federal law requires 5 ounce cans to contain between 2.84-ounces and 3.23-ounces of tuna, depending on the type. The plaintiff, Patrick Hendricks, had independent testing done on the cans, determining that they had as much as 17.3 percent less tuna than the federally mandated minimum. StarKist must pay up to $8 million in cash and $4 million in food vouchers as part of the settlement in United States District Court in Northern California. StarKist did not admit fault but agreed to a settlement in which it will pay $8 million in cash and $4 million in vouchers to purchase StarKist tuna. People can sign up for the settlement at the lawsuit website. They don't need a receipt, but they will need to swear that they purchased the tuna.

it seems like people are trying to make excuses for these lying scum. just put 5oz of tuna and then put in the rest of your BS. I don't care what the freakin' overall weight is. Put that too if you care to. Quit covering for your masters. Start embarrassing the management of these NWO whores in public, or worse depending on the violation.
now you can't even find tuna without gmo soy in it in some stores. They were already adding some chemical(can't remember the name right now) under the guise of keeping it fresh. what it really did was make it pinker and hold water so they could sell more water. could be related to this guy's findings. oh and it would give you ass cancer, but the FDA says that's ok if you can make up some BS justification and there's no natural replacement to serve said BS function.
