Question 1

Who makes kirkland's solid white albacore

Accepted Answer

I defer to the first 2 answers in terms of who packs for Costco.  However, I also won't buy any other brand of albacore; it is simply the best.

Question 2

What Are The Benefits Of Using This Product?

Accepted Answer

Simply put the taste never mind solid white meat. It doesn't look like cat food like some store bought tuna does. I've even eaten it plain it tastes so good.  Try it, and if you are a real tuna fan, I'd be shocked if you ever went back to anything else.

Question 3

Are the cans BPA free?

Accepted Answer

Have no idea what BPA is,,,,but nowhere on the can  does it have these 3 letters listed as present or absent. Good suggestion is to contact Kirkland and ask. I can only tell you that it is delicious canned tuna!

Question 4

Where is this Tuna packed? Does it say where it was caught and how? Thank you.

Accepted Answer

I am looking at the can and it does not specify where it was caught or how... that I am able to discern.  The ingredients list says: white tuna, water, salt, and pyrophosphate added.  It is distributed by Costco Wholesale, P.O. Box 34535, Seattle, WA.  98124-1535--1-800-774-2678, www.costco.com.  I found a lot of in on pyrophosphate at:  http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_is_pyrophosphate_in_tuna ,  it appears that this ingredient is added to:   "to keep mineral crystals from building up on the fish (sodium acid pyrophosphate). Sodium pyrophosphate is used as a buffering agent, an emulsifier, a dispersing agent, and a thickening agent, and is often used as a food additive. Common foods containing sodium pyrophosphate include chicken nuggets, marshmallows, pudding, crab meat, imitation crab, canned tuna, and soy-based meat alternatives. "  It appears that this is a common ingredient in canned tuna.  I found some additional info on pyrophosphate at:  http://healthscript.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/food-additives/That's about all I can tell you... a call to Costco might be a good idea if you have questions as to location of the catch and how it was caught or packed.  Hope this helps.
