I don’t eat Starkist, Bumble Bee or any of the popular tunas because their “vegetable broth” contains soy, which I’m sensitive to. Why they need to put soy in this broth is beyond me. Isn’t there enough protein in the tuna? Tuna which is kosher for Passover and year round does not contain soy, so that’s the one I go with.
Most of the common name brand tunas come canned in water as well. I’m not even sure who buys tuna in oil as it just makes the tuna so “oily” and to me that’s not a good thing.
Some had decent texture and flavor (hey, it's canned tuna). We picked the one we liked best, and it turned out to be the store brand.
When it went on sale (.49/can), I bought three cases, and we're just finishing those up.
The last of them are about a year past date, but they are still fine (stored well).
It's time to watch for 'loss leaders' again...
