Natalie.s.a Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I think it isn't. You can have tuna in water or olive oil (but some of them have other oils in them, too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 In the sheet of balanced fats and oils, sunflower oil comes under the 'Oils to Ditch' heading and in the book ISWF sunflower oil is one of the oils listed as violating the 4th good food standard because they "have been shown to directly promote systemic inflammation".

Snappy Shark Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 It's probably one of those things that's "technically compliant," but not ideal. I'd recommend only using it in an emergency and stock up on tuna packed in water or olive oil only for the next time. The big ones to avoid in tuna are soy and gluten-containing vegetable broth. (Why do they put this junk in canned fish?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulinealana Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Thank you so much for reply's, I will ditch and get some more in olive oil, I'm on day 21 and did not want to chance is. I'm going to hotel ( girly pamper night), meal booked, have phoned ahead to check out menu but not convinced by some posts I've read about eating out. Thought I would take some emergency supplies!

Sharon Simpson Thumann Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I found tuna at Costco with tuna, salt, water and pyrophosphate. I'm not sure if it's allowed or even what it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Well the livestrong site has this to say about it "Sodium acid pyrophosphate, or disodium pyrophosphate, is an edible phosphoric salt that helps create leavening used for baking, such as baking powder, and prevents food discoloration, such as in raw potatoes. In its bulk state, such as at the manufacturing laboratory, the acidic nature of sodium acid pyrophosphate may be very hazardous upon skin or eye contact, inhalation or ingestion, causing severe inflammation. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers if safe for human consumption, however, in its dispersed state as a food ingredient.

Robin Strathdee Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Good for you- planning ahead is key! If it doesnt contain soy, then it's fine. Especially in an emergency situation. Always opt for olive oil as your best choice, but no need to throw this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
