‘The Food industry is collapsing!’: Woman opens last can from StarKist four-pack, and what’s inside looks completely different

It was mystery meat, alright!

A woman in Vermont bought a four-pack of StarKist tuna and found something strange in the last can. Instead of bright white fish in water, she discovered dark brown meat sitting in thick, oily liquid.TikToker Bluiiz shared a video showing the problem.

According to Bro Bible, she held two open StarKist Tuna in Water cans by her kitchen sink. The first can had dark brown fish in oily liquid. The second can looked normal with bright white fish in thin, watery liquid. She squeezed both cans into the sink to show the difference. The first can released dark, oily liquid. The second can had clear, runny water. The contrast was obvious.

Bluiiz said she already ate the other three cans from the pack without any problems. She didn’t understand why one can was so different. The strange can also smelled like cat food, which made her worried. She wondered if the label was wrong or if the tuna had gone bad.

The scary part is she already ate three cans from the same pack

She posted the video on TikTok with the caption “WTF! The Food industry is collapsing!” Her concerns make sense since other companies had similar problems this year. Celsius mislabeled alcoholic drinks, and Ocean Spray filled cranberry sauce cans with just water during Thanksgiving. These incidents have people questioning product quality standards across various industries.

People in the comments had different opinions. Some believed the factory made a labeling mistake. Tuna packed in oil usually looks darker than tuna in water. “So they packed the wrong tuna in the wrong can, how hard was that to figure that out,” one person wrote. “I THINK MISS LABELS THAT LOOKS LIKE A TUNA IN OIL CUZ IT LOOKS THICKER AND IT HAS SOME YELLOW IN IT,” another comment read.

One person explained that different parts of tuna look different. They said the dark meat might have come from near the skin or bones. Some was skeptical of the quality, however. “I stopped trusting food since covid it’s been hard to eat,” one person said. “something not right it may be cat food take it all back and show they I do take my back when something like this I got my money back,” another wrote.

Some shoppers shared similar experiences with StarKist, including cans with too much water and not enough tuna. Quality control issues have become a growing concern, similar to how major policy reversals are affecting consumer trust in different sectors.
