Canned tuna observation

This doesn't have anything to do with the photo albums I create but I do snack while working on them. I was in the mood for tuna fish salad so decided to make a batch. When I make a batch, I mean a batch (8 cans to be exact). Have you ever noticed how tuna is packed in those little cans? I hadn't paid that much attention until I had all of them opened & had drained the liquid onto the dog food. My 3 lab mixes love the tuna water on their dry food. Well, out of 3 different brands of tuna (Star Kist, Bumblebee and Kroger's brand) there was a wide degree of how the tuna looked. There was even a difference within the same brand. Some of the tuna actually looked like tuna and some looked like squished mush. I guess what surprised me was how much difference there was with how the tuna looked within the same brand. I guess it depends on the packing plant but you'd think there would be some type of internal controls the various brands would demand. Really look at your food the next time you eat. It can be very interesting!
