At least since 1961 as that's when their mascot, charlie the tuna, was created. Del Monte foods, the previous owner of starkist, began in 1892, so it cannot be older than that.

This tuna making company was established in 1961. So they have been in business for 65 years and in 1961 the company brought in the known brand icon of Starkist Charlie the Tuna. Starkist is considered a domestic tuna manufacturer. This product is considered 'dolphin safe'. It is also considered low-cost and good tasting as well.
