Product: Tuna Creations Sweet & Spicy
Description: Foil-pouched “premium tuna” from a recent “Tuna Creations” line by StarKist that features such flavors as hickory smoked, Thai chili, honey-barbecue, and this sweet & spicy option. The product comes in 2.6-ounce portions.
Preparation summary: Ready to eat
High points: The sweet flavors of red bell peppers and ripe tomatoes verge into a level of spiciness that is pleasantly subdued, all without completely stealing away the integrity of the tuna. Forget the mayonnaise and other condiments because this fish swims finely on its own.
Low points: It looks a little bit like dog food. And unless you’re rigorously dieting, a single serving won’t get you to church. Lastly, corn syrup is listed in the ingredients, albeit in trace measures.
