A California resident has filed a federal civil action against StarKist Co., accusing the owner of StarKist Samoa cannery in Pago Pago of under filling certain StarKist canned tuna products.
It’s unclear if the specific products cited in the lawsuit filed last month at the federal court in Oakland, Calif., were produced at the StarKist Samoa plant. StarKist Co., declined to comment about on-going litigation.
Specific canned tuna cited in the 18-page lawsuit are the 5-ounce cans of chunk light tuna in water; 5-ounce cans of solid white albacore tuna in Water; 5-ounce cans of solid white albacore tuna in vegetable oil; and 5-ounce cans of chunk light tuna in vegetable oil, which are collectively identified in the suit as “StarKist Tuna.”
