Is there something fishy going on?

Hi Forumites,
There's a debate happening on Fb.. Users are claiming that Princes Tuna isn't quite angling fair with their 'drained weight' measurements. Seems like it's been a reel problem for ages, and if you carp to Princes about it, they offer vouchers.
But some fin-fluential figure over at a cheese factory chimes in, suggesting that the weight on the packaging is just a krill average of the batch.
Do you agree that's fair? Have you seen any other examples?

PS. Other fish puns are also appreciated...

Surely an issue for trading standards rather than a consumer discussion forum...?
And I agree that if it is for discussion then it would seem better placed on the consumer rights board.I'm not an early bird or a night owl; I’m some form of permanently exhausted pigeon.1 -

I haven't eaten tuna since I was a teenager, the picture of the open tin looks like something you might feed to a cat. Catfish, perhaps?No man is worth crawling on this earth.
So much to read, so little time.1 -
If it's on Facebook (Dace-book?) then it must be true. That well-known platform for of-fish-ial statistics.
