Have you tried weighing the tuna and the brine together out of the tin to see what the total is?

There was a thing on TV actually a few months back about the packaging in supermarkets seem to be the same, but the produce itself is less than it was, yet we were still paying the same, if not, more.

That's an old and well known phenomeon, I don't know why they needed an investigation to show it. Mars have almost a conveyor belt of sizes, every so often they used to bring out a "new bigger bar", and then gradually reduced

What the OP is suggesting is different, in the reducing sizes to make inflation gentler model, the mass quoted on the packets reduce. What the OP is suggesting is that the contents of the tins doesn't match the mass printed.

Prices of food have been kept low for many years, they've been creeping up recently sure, but it's not made up for years of agressive squese by the supermarkets on behalf of the UK's consumers.
