Resolved: 1/2 inch bone in prime tuna in water can

Bumble Bee Seafoods - 1/2 inch bone in prime tuna in water can
I found a 1/2 inch bone in my can of tuna last night. I was alone and grateful I noticed it before I ate it. I was pretty shocked as this had never happened before and now Im afraid to consume more of my favorite food. Thought you should be aware.

I found pieces of shell

I bought a (10oz) can of Bumblebee Whole Baby Clams for making clam dip. I tasted the dip and got a mouthful of clamshells. I have bought this product before and never had a problem. Furthermore, I don't understand how this could happen. It's a good thing that I didn't serve it to guests before sampling it.

Dried. Inedible. I opened two cans out of the package of eight that is purchased. One was a little better but then I opened two more and as you can see it was gross and dry. Certainly NOT white albacore tuna that I paid a premium price for! Please refund my money. I will not be purchasing again!

Unhappy with CHUNK tuna. Cans were labeled CHUNK but in reality it was like s ground up tuna !

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
See message above. The ground up tuna looked and tasted terrible. If the can says CHUNK, thats what the customer should find when the can is opened.I bought 2 sets of 4 cans which I have thrown out. I have been a Bumble Bee fan exclusively for many years. No longer.Cry

Texture— info on cans say “CHUNK tuna.” NOT SO— it looks like ground meat--certainly not in chunks! So disappointing; it definitely affected the taste! No longer a customer.

See my reason for complaint.Can says CHUNK but it is all ground up. Certainly changes the taste dramatically. No longer a loyal customer. So disappointed.

Unhappy with tuna

Can says chunk tuna but it looks like ground meat. In addition, Flavor is not as good and cannot be used for some recipes,

User's recommendation: Don’t expect chunks even though the can says it and expect a change in taste as well.
