eao249 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Okay, so it's day 7, and I thought I was being so good on my beach trip. I brought a bunch of compliant, portable food including a couple of 2.5 ounce pouches of Bumble Bee tuna. I read the ingredients before purchasing and it read: white tuna, water, vegetable broth, salt, pyrophosphate added. Then, later at the beach, after I had eaten one pouch and was almost finished with the second I noticed that under the ingredient list it said: Contains: Tuna, soy. What the heck?! If it contains soy, why isn't that in the ingredients? Is it like when things say "may contain tree nuts" because they are packaged somewhere that has tree nuts and there might be trace amounts that make their way in and they have to list that in case someone is allergic? I'm wondering if I should start over again. As I'm thinking about it, if it says "contains soy" because the tuna may contain trace amounts of soy because it was packaged somewhere that also packages soy products it seems like I wouldn't need to start over. Because it's also okay to order something at a restaurant, say a sandwich that comes with cheese and then just scrape the cheese off, right? Thoughts on this?

Britishgal Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 If it were me I'd start over...or look on it as a whole37. Soy can be a common gut irritant. It was probably in the broth ;( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmr_sailor Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Accidental ingestion of soy would be a def restart for me. Tuna is a challenge, but there are soy-free options out there. You also may have better success canned/pouch salmon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted August 16, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 16, 2015 Most (if not all) of the time a can of tuna lists vegetable broth as an ingredient, it includes soy. Soy is a big issue and your gut healing had to start over when you ate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
