Commercially canned food can be safely stored for several years as long as the can is not bulging, leaking or damaged. With prolonged storage, canned foods begin to become less palatable. After opening, any uneaten product should be removed from the can, sealed in a container and immediately refrigerated. The product should be used within 2-3 days. Why are my oysters green? The green color in oysters is actually not an abnormal color. During the harvesting season, the oysters are still growing and ingest a large amount of plankton while they are still lean. This makes the "green feeds" visible through their outer skin. I think I found glass in my canned seafood! What is it? These are struvite crystals and are formed by the natural, normal constituents of seafood after it is sterilized in the can. The crystals are no harder than ordinary table salt and can be easily scratched and crushed to a powder with the thumbnail. They will dissolve in a few minutes in warm vinegar, as they do in stomach acid. What is Crown Prince's Dolphin Safe Policy? They sell three types of tuna: albacore, tongol and yellowfin. Our suppliers strictly adhere to dolphin protection methods. Their tuna is certified dolphin safe by Earth Island Institute. Albacore is caught by long-line method, which poses no danger to dolphins. Tongol tuna is caught by purse seine net, however dolphins do not swim with these schools. Dolphins sometimes swim with schools of yellowfin tuna. All tuna catches, and particularly yellowfin catches are strictly monitored by independent observers. Each net set is certified as causing no harm to dolphins. No drift nets are used. The fishermen are not allowed to set their nets on schools of dolphin. In the event that any dolphins are present in the set, the fishermen are required to lower their nets to release the dolphins. Why is my Solid White Tuna not always white? While albacore is classified as "white" tuna, there are common variations in color from can to can. The color of albacore can vary from nearly white to light pink, beige, tan or occasionally a slight gray tinge. All of these variations meet established color requirements. Why did I find a bone in my tuna? Although every effort is made to remove them, bones are occasionally present in canned tuna. The loins are trimmed entirely by hand and are inspected several times for the presence of any bones which may have been missed. On occasion, a bone is embedded in the loin and may be overlooked. After the fish is canned, the high heat sterilization process softens the bones to the point that they are harmless and crumble easily. Why did I find shell fragments in my oysters? Because there is no machine that can shuck these little oysters properly, the work is all done by hand. Then, before packing, the product is spread on large trays and inspected. We strive for 100% removal of shell fragments, but just as there is an occasional piece of gravel in a bag of beans or a cherry pit in a can of pie filling, it is possible that occasionally a shell will be found in any variety of canned shellfish. However, what you describe is definitely not Crown Prince quality and we apologize for the inconvenience. Why are there scales on my sardines? Pilchard sardines have larger scales that do not soften as much as the scales on smaller sardines. These scales protect the fish from outside elements and are proof of the best quality and freshness. If scales are removed from sardines, the skin will soften and the fish will fall apart. The scales are
