I did not know that

here's mine:
i didn't know that canned tuna in water is also in VEGETABLE BROTH.

Why does Bumble Bee add vegetable broth to canned tuna?

Vegetable Broth is added to our canned tuna products as an optional flavoring ingredient. It enhances the flavor of tuna, resulting in a more mild, delicate taste.

What are the ingredients in the vegetable broth in canned tuna?

The broth currently used is derived from two or more of the following vegetables: beans, peas, celery, green & red bell peppers, onions, parsley, garlic or carrots. The broth also generally contains a soy protein, which is why some of our products declare, "Contains soy."

1. There's a brand of canned tuna I buy on occasion that has something like:
"Tuna. 14 grains of sea salt." and that's it on the ingredient list.

This obviously isn't tuna casserole tuna, nor is it mayo-onion-relish-tuna-salad tuna. We use this on a salad nicoise, where it's eaten pretty much by itself.

2. prime fillet
Edited on Wed Jun-02-04 09:05 PM by Insider
the only way i found this out is because bumble bee has this 'prime fillet' and they advertise that it has "absolutely no vegetable broth"

after i got up, i went to look at the regular cans and i see (gulp) vegetable broth.
