Anyone Else Have Trouble With Canned Tuna That Has Broth In It?

[Sarah8793]

I have discovered that I can only eat tuna packed in olive oil. The others even those with soy oil have broth in them and I get sick later. Soy doesn't seem to be a problem for me, so it is something in the broth. I am gluten-free and casein free. Any ideas what is causing me to be affected by the broth? Wondering.

I had to go read my can of tuna My tuna has vegetable broth and an allergy warning for soy. It is bumble-bee albacore tuna. I have not had any troubles with it and I seem to be sensitive. However, I remember watching Julia Child and Jaques Pepin talking about can tuna and how Julia said the tuna must be packed in oil! Julia seemed to think it was close to a sin to have tuna packed in water/broth. Julia would advise you (on taste alone) to stick with the tuna in olive oil. I think I might have to agree with her, it tastes better.

I never have tuna in broth only in water.

Hi,

I have never been able to find tuna packed only in water. The cans I have looked at always say water on the front but then broth is listed in the ingredients also. What kind do you buy? Thanks!

I only have tuna in water also and it is the only kind that I have ever had. I buy Oceans, Clover Leaf or Gold Seal. The ingredients are normally tuna, salt, water and some have a preservative such as disodium phosphate.

Vegetable broth is pretty much the standard in tuna. There's no gluten. Tuna, like other meats, must by USDA law list any grain added. The only time I've found a tuna with gluten was a flavored one in a packet that had soy sauce.

I have never found tuna that contained gluten either, except for the mixes. I do always buy tuna in water and that water as a rule is a soy-based broth and it does bother me, just as I can't use regular mayo, I have to buy canola mayo. The only tuna I have found in the local stores is Bumble Bee in the foil pouch, does not contain soy.

I buy the same brands as Felidae.

[debmidge]

some of them contain dairy/casein and that bothers me.

HERE IS WHERE THE PROBLEM WITH OUR FOOD IS:

"Tuna, like other meats, must by USDA law list any grain added."

USDA does nothing to preserve the good quality and taste of foods anymore. I have given up tuna and poultry completely because of the added solutions.

I have problems with the ones that have soy, I use a water only brand. I believe it is Starkist Gourmet in a gold can. That one I have no problem with.
