Question from cymering
Hi Debra!
First, I wanted to thank you for you hard work. Your website has been invaluable for me since I started making changes.
Now, to my question: My daughter (11 years old) loves LOVES tuna salad. It’s been really hard trying to avoid the can. Would the tuna that comes in the pouch be safer? And I found today a new brand, Wild Planet food, the can says that it is certified BPA-free, but… maybe I am having trust issues, but what are they using instead? I could not find that information in thier website. I will write to find out, but maybe you have some information on this.
Thanks!
Cecilia.
Debra’s Answer
I understand your trust issues. All I can say is that there are truth-in-advertising laws so if a can says “certified BPA-free” it’s a lot more likely to be BPA-free than one that does not say that on the label.
But you’re right. What are they using instead?
Wild Planet looks like they are doing a great job sourcing sustainable seafood, but I couldn’t find a certification organization that certifies anything to be BPA-free. Warrents more research.
Here’s my suggestion. You don’t have to buy tuna in a can, you can buy fresh tuna, cook it simply, and flake it to make tuna salad. No can at all.
