More bullshit...
Nothing new... Bumble Bee has had tuna in olive oil forever, I buy it

it).

The greatest variety of tuna in olive oil (and sardines, etc.) at the
lowest prices can be found in Hispanic markets under various Hispanic
sounding brand names, but if you read the labels you'll notice many
are canned in places like New Jersey.
The canned fish purveyers have been capitalizing on the trend people
have adopted to consume their products packed in water. The dumb
consumers pay more and get less... any who drain the water and then
add mayo would have been far better off buying tuna in oil to begin
with. Tuna/sardines in olive oil is an especially good bargain
considering it automatically adds a wonderful dressing for salads....
you save no calories by draining oil packed and then adding mayo,
which is precisely what most people do, and they typically add a lot
more mayo to drained water packed than they would with drained oil
packed, so they've accomplished zip, except that they drained away
much of the flavor.
