Bumble Bee Foods and the producer of Chicken of the Sea tuna have
announced a recall of some 5-ounce cans of tuna, but it's not the fish
that's the problem.

What has the companies worried is that the seals on the cans aren't tight
enough. The seals could be so loose that they let in air and outside
contaminants, which could spoil the tuna.

I'm lucky to have a fried on the Oregon coast that has a fishing
charter boat and get all the fresh tuna I can eat. My cousin cans
it...so much better tasting than the canned crap.

Tuna canned can last much longer than a month. My Great Great
Grandfather invented canned tuna while he was executive chef of the
Specific Ocean. That's no chit.
My favourite canned tuna is 'Moose' brand. It's canned on the shores
of James Bay, in the town of Moose Factory. The tuna are attracted to
James Bay by the promise of fresh salmon.

That may or may not be true. Just because the products were processed at
the same plant does not mean the ingredients were the same. Certainly in
some cases they are the same, but as we know there are custom processors
that produce many different products for independent small brands that
otherwise couldn't afford to build their own processing facilities
because their production volume is too low.

Idiot! Try tasting canned Tuna by the Ortiz company.

Never heard of it, so I searched and by George I can buy it locally.
I also discovered other brands I hadn't heard of either.

Oil packed is certainly a plus, just because the tuna lived in water
doesn't mean it's ok to pack it in water. The pseudo-health water packed
tuna craze has meant nothing but profit for the producers since water is
far cheaper than oil.

This isn't just ordinary Tuna as you can tell from the price. I am
not familiar with the process but it is aged in the can.

I suspect all of the brands in that article (except, maybe, TJ's)
would be a good choice for salade nicoise if I didn't want to sear a
piece of fresh tuna... but at their prices, sushi grade tuna might be
the economical choice!

Sounds like a sales ploy to me! The only variables I've come across are
type: albacore or regular; packing: water or oil; consistency: chunk or
chopped (not labelled as such).

I have 3 brands of canned tuna he
- starkist
- bumblebee
- great value (isn't that the walmart brand?) (daughter brought those)

I notice that all 3 also contain vegetable broth. I wonder why?

Regardless, my older ferret loves the water from the cans. heheh

I believe the reason for the "vegetable broth" is to get glutamates into
the product without having to actually declare them on the label. Note
the allergy information indicating fish and soy components, have you
ever made vegetable broth with soybeans before? In all probability there
is soy in there in the form of hydrolyzed glutamate laden gook from ADM
is it?
