Lately, when I've been making tuna sandwiches I notice the tuna is white with some pink in it so the tuna mixture is very light.

When I was younger, I distinctly remember canned tuna being more gray. Does anyone else remember that?

I think you are confusing canned tuna with canned sardines. If not then different brands maybe.

Are you getting the same kind of tuna? Chunk light vs albacore or yellowfin, or oil packed vs water?

The cans are a lot smaller than they used to be. Pre-2000 they were 7 ounces, now they are 5 ounces, though some are as small as 3.

Once upon a time "chunk" light tuna was actually chunky. Now it looks more like cat food.

I'm betting the stuff you remember wasn't actually Tuna. You know how truthful corporations are about their food packaging...

No I don't like canned sardines and have never eaten them

Maybe it's just different kinds of tuna type then

i prefer the cans of tuna where the tuna is like, nice chunks instead of just a mush party like some others are

Tuna's one of the few ocean farmed fish, and its meat is colored based on what it's eaten.
You probably just got a tuna from a different part of the ocean.

With stuff like farmed salmon they feed the fish a certain diet to keep the meat the nice pink customers like.

I only get Costco canned tuna. I heard all the other brands are stuff that the fishermen probably spat in.

I'm just imagining each boat has someone whose only job is to spit on the fish as they're brought in.

Sure, they came out of an ocean into which billions of animals are pooping, peeing, bleeding, spooging, and salivating all hours of the day, but I draw the line at a fisherman spitting on the fish and also it's totally plausible that Costco is the only brand that has figured out how to prevent this.
