Canned Tuna

[ellenschnurbusch]

I'm sure this has been previously discussed, but what's the stance on canned fish. I bought some albacore tuna from Costco and the listed ingredients are: Tuna, water, salt and phytophosphate (or something to that extent.) I'm assuming that last one is a preservative. Is that okay or should I avoid canned tuna and canned meat in general?

I've never noticed that particular sciencey name ingredient, but because it is not one of the known bad things, you can eat it. I eat canned salmon, tuna, and sardines frequently.

Whole foods has their own 365 brand of canned tuna that's roughly 1.50 a can (same as most grocery stores/convenience stores) that only has tuna, water, salt listed (no soy!!!). Soy is the major problem I've found in canned tuna so far.

You can find both tuna in olive oil with salt and now tuna with water and salt only at Walmart. A big help for those of us with limited shopping options.

I just bought some tuna at costco. It is "wild planet" brand and the only ingredients are tuna and water.

Now that I get the Wild Planet Tuna in water, it is my favorite. There's barely any water in it. Delish and great price at costco.
