That great Kirkland superior white albacore tuna (Costco brand) is also Bumble Bee. Can't products be made in America? Other countries have low standards and then we find out animals and people were poisoned.

I read somewhere that albacore tuna has the highest mercury levels of all tuna. Haven't eaten tuna since.

It doesn't matter who owns these companies, the waters have been poisoned for years. I remember 30 years when I was pregnant my doctor told me to limit my tuna intake to once a week because of the mercury found in tuna.

I haven't eat any canned tuna in years. Because of the risk of mercury. I remember seeing a documentary about the tuna fishing industry. Huge tunas lying in the sun oozing with Mercury. It's still a big risk and I still don't eat it. I've just about stopped eating fish.

The waters the fish come from are the important part. Pollution abounds.

America will regret outsourcing and selling companies to foreign countries.

We prefer freshly caught tuna.

I don't want anything farmed, caught or packed in Asian waters.

It seems Ecuador is one place else where tuna is processed. You have to read and read. Or eat something else.

I order Wild Planet brand from amazon. It's really good and I feel good feeding it to my family. And it's so pretty if that means anything to anyone but me. LOL I add lemon juice to tuna or salmon. Helps cut down on the fishy taste. Check amazon for tuna and salmon.

There was a recall on Bumble Bee Tuna Pouches.

That is by far the best tuna I have found now. I get it at Whole Foods for about $2.50 a bag--at least the last time I bought was that price. It's all we eat now, the ones they process in Ecuador I think--NOT Asia.
