  • Today, on Veterans Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women who have served our nation.   At StarKist, we are proud to support the U.S. Military by supplying our tuna products as part of the Meals Ready-to-Eat (MRE) program. This ensures that our nutritious and high-quality tuna is included in the food packs provided to service members.   Additionally, through StarKist’s Tuna for U.S. Military initiative, we have been donating StarKist products free of charge to members of the U.S. Military for over 15 years. In just the past three years alone, more than 2,000 members of the U.S. Military have benefited from this program.   This year, we were deeply honored to host a gala paying tribute to The Chosin Few—heroes of the historic Battle of Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War in 1950. The evening, which celebrated the bravery and sacrifices of over 15 Korean War veterans and their families, served as a powerful reminder of the immense gratitude we owe to all veterans. Since 2008, StarKist, in partnership with Dongwon, has proudly hosted over 15 events to honor Korean War veterans.   Be sure to watch this special video highlighting the unforgettable evening.   Today, and every day, we stand in appreciation of all who serve.

  • This weekend, StarKist Co. and our parent company, Dongwon, were deeply honored to sponsor the 2024 Chosin Few Gala in Arlington, VA, paying tribute to over 15 courageous Korean War veterans and their families. These heroes, known as "The Chosin Few," bravely fought in the historic Battle of Chosin Reservoir in 1950, securing the freedom of both the U.S. and South Korea. At StarKist, we are profoundly grateful for their sacrifice and are proud to continue our long-standing tradition of honoring their valor. Our President & CEO, Young Choi, and the entire StarKist team are privileged to express our heartfelt thanks alongside Colonel Warren H. Wiedhahn, USMC (Ret), and The Chosin Few family. #KoreanWarVeterans #HonoringHeroes #ChosinFew #FreedomisNotFree #StarKistCares Young (Young Jo) Choi Seunghwan Roh (노승환)
