StarKist, a subsidiary of Dongwon Group, has been recognized as one of the top 500 brands in a survey evaluating brand trust and purchase intent among American consumers.
On November 12, Dongwon Group announced that StarKist was selected for Newsweek's 'Most Loved Brands in America 2027.'
This survey was conducted jointly by Newsweek and the global data research firm Plant-A Insights Group, assessing over 4,800 brands across 42 industries with approximately 23,000 American consumers. The top 500 brands were determined based on five metrics: brand affection, intimacy, purchase intent, trust, and reliability.
StarKist primarily operates in the U.S. market with processed tuna products. In response to consumer demand for convenient protein options, the company has introduced pouch tuna products and recently expanded its offerings to include salmon and chicken. Currently, it offers over 40 varieties of its 'Creations Pouch' products.
The company is also committed to community service, engaging in initiatives such as combating hunger, supporting Korean War veterans, creating play facilities for children battling cancer, and assisting vulnerable populations.
Michael Merritt Jr., Vice President of Marketing and Innovation at StarKist, stated, "It is very meaningful to have the long-standing loyalty and trust of consumers recognized on a national level. This selection reaffirms our commitment to providing high-quality protein products that meet changing consumer demands and to making a positive impact in our communities."
