As far as tuna goes I generally like albacore more than chunk light. These were on sale and I can’t pass up a good sale. This tuna is as expected. Tuna, mayo, minced garlic and I add some shredded white cheese. On a Triscuit or on a sandwich it’s a winner.
Fast delivery of the best tuna. Somebody deserves a bonus! Ordered at 7:30 a and delivered at 11:30 a on a Saturday!
I feed this to my cat and he loves it. Its the only brand he gobbles up.
Están deliciosas
Una experiencia muy positiva. El producto llegó puntualmente y con una presentación excelente. Lo recomiendo totalmente.
I’ve been eating this since my childhood. So good and reasonably priced.
Very tasty!
Good
Bought this for my local food pantry. It was on their wishlist. They love it!
It's tuna for a great price. Of course it's going to get 5 stars!
My dog loves this stuff. I think he thinks he’s stealing cat food.
StarKist tuna is the best
When I ordered these, they were cheaper than ones sold at local stores. I wanted to stock up before prices increased.
Peanut's favorite. The great kicker? Expires in 2030; if peanut & I live that long.
Good value
Got this for supplementing my chihuahua's diet. She LOVES it. I give her a half can at a time, with the juice. It is her favorite thing on the menu! 😀
Chunk Lite Tuna is especially good in Mac and Cheese, the small cans are just about the right amount for a box of regular or Deluxe Mac and Cheese (liquid cheese sauce instead of powdered).
as expected
I always buy StarKist because of the taste and ease to use. It's packed in water, so you can almost use it for anything that takes tuna.
My favorite tuna

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️StarKist tuna is very convenient and tasty. It has a fresh, mild flavor and works perfectly for salads, sandwiches, or eating straight from the pouch or can.I like that it is ready to use and makes quick, healthy meals very easy. The texture is good and not too dry.It is a reliable product that I always keep in my pantry for fast and nutritious meals. I definitely recommend
Will be ordering more soon. Great value for the money
This brand has a lower water-to-tuna ratio. I'm buying tuna not water.
Absolutely love this product. Won't purchase any other! Quality A+ Taste A+.
I'm convinced there's an unwritten rule somewhere that whoever packs and ships these cans for Amazon has to make sure that at least a few of the cans have dents in them. I have yet to order an 8-pack, and all cans are dent-free. Truthfully, I don't care. What matters is that this is the best-tasting, high-protein, heart-healthy, easy to use quality tuna that you're going to find. Easy to take on the go, perfect for tuna sandwiches, and from a brand name we all know and trust. At a better price than most grocery stores. So add an 8-pack to your shopping cart today, you'll be glad you did.
Love to eat this with saltine crackers
Everything i expected
Found a can of cat food in here but otherwise going good 😭😭😭
Very convenient way to purchase when you can go out. Decent price, good quality and fast delivery.
We use as cat food and she loves it! But then again, she'll eat any tuna!
good tuna
