paleoamy Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Sorry if this has been answered but I've been looking through the forums and can't find a direct answer. Canned tuna ingredients are: albacore tuna, water, sodium acid pyrophosphate. I know Melissa says "As long as the food doesn't contain MSG, carrageenan, or sulfites, the additives are fine. It's always best to find food without additives entirely, of course, but none of these are of any concern to me health-wise. Melissa" in the whole 30 official can I have. I can't seem to find out if the sodium acid pyrophosphate is a sulphite or an "okay" additive? Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted January 22, 2014 Moderators Share Posted January 22, 2014 It is an okay additive. Here is an article you might be interested in reading: http://www.livestrong.com/article/549169-is-there-any-danger-in-using-sodium-acid-pyrophosphate-in-food-mixes/ I find tuna with olive oil and salt at regular grocery stores. I have not seen this ingredient before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paleoamy Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thank you! That was very helpful. I will use what I have into cupboard and look for an olive oil/salt version on my next shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbosmer Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I know the Star Kist selects has the "solid light" that is compliant. It comes packed in olive oil or water and the ingredients are tuna, salt, and water or olive oil. I have found it in normal grocery stores.

kyaich211 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 There is a canned tuna brand called "wild Planet"... the only ingredient is albacore tuna, no water, salt or oil added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BratKat Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Wild Planet is really good-- it has a little natural tuna oil in it which I much prefer to other added oils. As far as the routine grocery store tuna, virtually every one has pyrophosphate in it. I prefer to avoid that. The Starkist and Bumblebee low sodium albacore doesn't have it (or the soy that is in most tuna, also)-- just tuna, salt and water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 If you have any italian grocers near you, you may find clean "white meat tuna" (usually albacore), sometimes it even comes in glass. If you have trouble finding ones without bad oils, look for ones in brine or springwater, they have no oil (but can have other nasties). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mskapaldo Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I bought wild planet sardines today and I can't wait to try it. I was looking for tomato sauce and tomato crushed in a can and it had citric acid and other brands had asorbic acid. Are these ingredients okay to have?

ktothev Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I second the recommendation for italian grocers. I get Genova Tonno solid light tuna in olive oil (ingredients: tuna, olive oil, salt). It is so much better than the grocery store stuff. I love it with some zucchini noodles and garlic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigirl Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Citric acid is ok. I found it inthe forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
