Our Verdict

While no purchase proof is necessary, please only participate if you actually purchased one of the products list above during the stated time frame. This class action is the result of the mentioned cans of tuna not containing at least 3.23 ounces of tuna (the claim alleges that the average was 2.81 to 3.11 ounces of tuna). StarKist denied the claims but agreed to settle to avoid a costly lawsuit.

You’re not guaranteed to receive $25/$50 in Tuna, that depends on the number of claimants which is why it’s important to only participate if you actually purchased the qualifying tuna during the qualification period. You can read our primer to class action settlements here.
