I'd really like to know when they started sneaking vegetable
protein in. Also, I am not quite convinced the labels are
accurate. The one I was getting had two different labels that
looked just the same, but one of which listed vegetable
protein while the other didn't. I therefore always read the
labels thoroughly. The last time I got tuna, it was very
shardy--even though it claimed to be solid, and there was some
strange slime on the bottom of the can. I threw it out and
probably won't eat the other can I got at the same time either.
