and a few other things)

So why bother with store brand?

There are folks out there who are too young to remember that a can of coffee in the supermarket used to be a POUND of coffee.

Now, you're lucky to get 13 oz., and often you get but 10. Is the price adjusted to reflect the smaller amount? Of course not!

It's even more egregious when they shortchange you from the lousy amount they are claiming to provide!

I hope he wins, and forces Safeway to give everyone with a card a six pack of free tuna!

Sorry, Charlie and KamaAina!



I think Chips Ahoy does it, too.

We never, ever, purchased it so we didn't qualify for the StarKist rebate, but we sure will for Safeway.

Shortchanging customers in various types of the canned tuna they sell. I'd been buying starkist up until just recently when I found out just how crappily they ranked in sustainability lists, so I filed a claim a number of months ago. Still haven't seen any response, and even if I got the maximum they said they might chip out per claimant, I imagine based on the number of cans I've bought over the last few years that it still won't come close to covering the extra profit they made off me.

"They contained an average of 2.29 ounces of tuna, which is 19.4 percent below the federally mandated minimum standard of fill for 2.84 ounces" If I buy a 5 ounce can, I expect to see 5 OUNCES in it.

It's supposed to be at least 2.84 ounces of tuna and no more than 2.16 ounces of water.

Of course if I buy Tuna, I buy it the fish section at the store instead of in a can.

"The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found 106 out of 108 Safeway tuna cans did not have as much tuna as promised."

Why is this a NOAA issue? Because fish are involved?

If I was investigating something like that, I'd take it to some independent lab or something. Or I'd complain to the FTC about unfair trade practices.

Any class action losses will be minor compared to the profits made via the fraud. It won't stop anything.

What should we do? I know, we can get Hillary to tell them to "cut it out!" Yea, that's the ticket.

at the same plant as StarKist:
