Tag: Cooked tuna

An interesting food fact is that all commercially canned tuna, including StarKist, is cooked twice before it reaches your pantry. To answer the question, "Is StarKist canned tuna already cooked?", yes, it is, and perfectly safe to eat directly from the can.

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), all commercially canned foods, including StarKist tuna, are subjected to a rigorous heat-sterilization process that ensures they are safe for consumption. Contrary to popular belief, canned tuna is not raw seafood but a fully cooked and shelf-stable product. This process is crucial for eliminating harmful microorganisms and preserving the product for years.
