StarKist Tuna is the name of a brand of tuna that is produced by StarKist Co., a former American company, now wholly owned by Dongwon Industries of South Korea. It was purchased by Dongwon from the once large American food manufacturer, Del Monte Foods, on June 24, 2008, for slightly more than $300 million.〔(Del Monte Sells StarKist Unit to S. Korean Company, The New York Times, June 24, 2008 )〕 Its mascot is Charlie the Tuna, an anthropomorphic cartoon tuna. Commercials usually featured the phrase "Sorry Charlie". In August 2015, StarKist settled a class-action lawsuit claiming that the company was guilty of deliberately "under-filling" five-ounce cans of tuna. Earlier that same month, StarKist was sued, accused of colluding with two other tuna distributors to fix prices. ==External links== *(Official site ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「StarKist」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
