rebbeca Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 The can of tuna fish I was going to eat for dinner contains: tuna, water, vegetable broth, salt, and sodium pyrophosphate. The label also says says contains fish and soy. Obviously if it contains soy it's off limits and I'll have to find a different source during Whole 30, but anyone know where the soy comes from? Is it in the vegetable broth? Annoyed that I have to find an alternate source now. Anyone know of a brand of tuna that doesn't cost a fortune but also doesn't contain soy?

kirkor Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Yep it's in the broth.At Costco, under their Kirkland label, they have a "skipjack" tuna without soy. And here's a good post re: some of Starkist's offerings without soy. Of course, check the label on the can in YOUR hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted June 10, 2016 Moderators Share Posted June 10, 2016 I looked at maybe 30 varieties of tuna in a big grocery store and found 3 that were compliant. None of them were popular brands, but I bet you can find something in a big store. The compliant ones were not the most expensive, although they were not the cheapest either.

rebbeca Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Thanks for the quick replies! I'll look for something compliant next time I'm out. The tuna I have is from pre Whole 30 and I'm SO glad I checked the label before I made it. Eating a leftover frittata and big salad tonight instead!

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted June 10, 2016 Moderators Share Posted June 10, 2016 Must be different in Canada because I hardly EVER run into soy in tuna... in fact when I first heard about it on these boards I was so stunned I went to the grocery store and checked all our brands... all clean!

laura_juggles Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 In the US, I've had good luck finding inexpensive compliant tuna by looking at the low or no sodium varieties. They tend to actually be in water rather than in broth. And then you can add you own salt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 We're just starting to see soy appear in some brands down under. Non-USA products have much less soy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same in the UK, tinned tuna is just tuna and water/ oil/ brine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
