Something wonderful has happened to the world’s finest tuna. Star-Kist Tuna has long been “America’s Best in Flavor Tests.” True. Couldn’t be better? Not true!
Now, Star-Kist has captured the delicate, just-caught flavor that’s as hard to keep as a light sea breeze. This is the magic of our secret Flavor-Lok Process.
