Adding to the already strong international flavor to the tuna offerings in the grocery store, San Francisco-based Del Monte Foods Co. has agreed to sell its StarKist seafood business to a South Korean firm.

The sale of the Charlie the Tuna line for $363 million to Dongwon Enterprise Co. will mark the third popular brand of tuna owned by overseas companies.

Thai Union International owns Chicken of the Sea, while Bumble Bee is part Toronto-based Connor Bros. Income Fund.
