Product Recall: for any of you in the US who eat canned tuna

[Jill McQuown]

In part, "A voluntary recall has been issued for some canned tuna
products — sold across the country at Trader Joe's, Walmart, Costco and
other stores — because of a pull tab defect that could lead to
potentially fatal botulism food poisoning.

Tri-Union Seafoods issued a voluntary recall for selected lots of canned
tuna products that are sold under brand names like Genova, Van Camp’s,
Trader Joe’s and H-E-B, the company and the Food and Drug Administration
announced in a news release Friday.

The recall was issued “out of an abundance of caution” after, the
supplier said, there was a manufacturing defect on the tuna can’s “easy
open” pull lid on limited products that could compromise “the integrity
of the product seal,” the release said."

I'm good on two accounts.

1. My tuna is not any of those brands or from those stores.

2. My tuna is packed in cans that require a can opener.

While I don't buy canned tuna I do buy canned salmon and canned Alaskan
crab meat. They also require a can opener.

Yep. It has for quite some time. Not all cans, obviously.
Those little single-serving cans did, and the moderately
fancy Spanish tuna that I buy does. Although I'm switching
to tuna in glass jars. It's about half the price, and I'm
starting to think $10 for one meal's worth of Spanish tuna
is not worth it.

Not much of a tuna consumer, I had to Google Spanish tuna. It certainly

What is a Spanish tuna?
Tuna (music) - Wikipedia
In Spain, Portugal and Latin American countries, a tuna is a group of
university students in traditional university dress who play traditional
instruments and sing serenades. The tradition originated in Spain and
Portugal in the 13th century as a means of students to earn money or food

I tried the ventresca tuna once. It wasn't wildly better than
the regular stuff, so I stuck with the regular stuff.

Combine then. They look good, but would be even better with music playing.

As we all know, you can playa piano but you can't tuna fish.

The Samoan's favorite canned fish is Van Camp's Wahoo. Thank you Lord
Jesus for not putting pull tabs on Van Camp's Wahoo!

We were at Costco yesterday and I saw a guy with a large package of Palm
Corned Beef. I can't say if he was Samoan. He could have been Tongan, I
suppose. Where would the Samoans be without Van Camp's Wahoo and Palm
Corned Beef? They'd be pretty much stuck in Samoa. Come to think of it,
I ain't never seen a Samoan eat fresh meat.

i've seen tuna in serving size mylar packages, they're typically
with sardines, smoked oysters and whatnot. the canned tuna i eat
most often is solid albacore and i get that in 6 and 8 packs at
BJ's. try as i might, i don't recall ever seeing tuna in pull
tab cans. :/

I used to buy these; 3 ounces is plenty of tuna for me, especially
as I used to only eat it as tuna-salad sandwiches with plenty of
celery, onion, and sliced green olives, which added considerable
bulk.

i see, easy open cans. little ones. i eat 5oz-ers mostly right out
of the can at work. keep a can opener in the silverware pocket in my
lunch bucket at all times. occasionally i'll put a can on salad for
protein but i prefer shrimp or chicken. and lately, beans.

the only other ways i eat tuna is in a casserole, occasionally a
tuna salad sandwich and it's just tuna and miracle whip with a
lot of fresh cracked peppercorn, and shit on a shingle. or
whatever warm creamed tuna with peas on toast is called. :)

I had to google. Awwwwww,lovely pic of this American
speciality cuisine featuring sliced cheese/ tuna/ miracle
whip/ pickle relish/paper plates.

"Janelle Aguda of Chicago, Illinois gets her son

take your preferred tuna salad, put in hot dog bun,
cheese on top, broil for a few minutes to warm up
and melt the cheese. something the university
residence hall cafeteria made about once a month. me
being fairly unpicky about food ate them up just
fine... :)

so an open tuna melt (which i may have had once in my life)
on a hot dog bun. so simple i don't to write it down. will give
one a try with pepperjack cheese. :)

Definitely no tuna (or peas) in SOS, regardless of how it looks! :)

I know you didn't ask but traditionally SOS is made using dried chipped
beef, although some (Navy vs. Marine Corps or Army) might argue SOS is
made with ground beef or even ground pork sausage. I would never make
SOS using ground beef. When made with ground sausage I simply call it
sausage gravy and serve it spooned over hot buttermilk biscuits. :)

thanks for the history. my father was an Army guy and talked
about SOS, but i don't recall ever having any such thing at

and no. just no! i am NOT calling our biscuits and gravy recipe
SOS! if shall forever be called biscuits and gravy.

and, the creamed tuna with peas on toast, that shall be forever
named; "yes i guess i'll have some instead of making something
else myself". marriage is about sacrifice sometimes, right? :)

I remember my mother making it (using dried chipped beef) when I was a
child. My father loved SOS. As a 6 year old, I didn't. Stouffer's
actually makes a decent frozen version of it (called Creamed Chipped
Beef, not SOS). When I told my mother she could buy it frozen she was
thrilled she didn't have to make it from scratch. Not that it is
complicated, she simply didn't enjoy cooking.

I used to love SOS. I used Armour chipped beef. Then it went away where
I shop. I have used beef sandwich meat. That's not bad either.
Put cream of any meat on toast, and it's not bad. Thanks, Pastorio!
I grew up with creamed, canned shrimp on toast. Don't hate it until you've

Hat's off to Bob Pastorio for his "cream of anything" (although it was
more specifically geared towards cream soups). RIP, Bob.

I won't knock your having to use canned shrimp because you live in a
landlocked area. There is a recipe I got from a local restaurant in SC
that calls for small fresh shelled shrimp & ground pork breakfast
sausage, served in a cream sauce, spooned over hot biscuits. Delicious!

Put cream of any meat on toast, and it's not bad. Thanks, Pastorio!
I grew up with creamed, canned shrimp on toast. Don't hate it until you've
tried it. :) Oh...buttered toast!

Hat's off to Bob Pastorio for his "cream of anything" (although it was
more specifically geared towards cream soups). RIP, Bob.
I won't knock your having to use canned shrimp because you live in a
landlocked area.

I live in a landlocked area and I haven't had canned shrimp in
50 years. Frozen shrimp are readily available.

You don't know what Leo *grew up* having available; he lives in Nevada.
Perhaps canned shrimp was all his mother could find.

I grew up in a small town near Toronto in the 50s. The only shrimp we
ever knew back then were those tiny things that came in cans. Into the
60s we could get frozen battered shrimp. In the 70s we could get frozen
shrimp in bags but they were ungodly expensive.

You should try answering your own question. Look on a map and find
Toronto. Then locate the Maritimes. You should feel really stupid
about now.

My step-mom buys frozen cooked whole shrimp that has to have the head
and the shell removed. I had never seen shrimp sold this way before -
she has to go to the fish market to buy it. It's actually quite tasty.

You can pretty well guaranty that any shrimp sold here is frozen or
previously frozen.

That looks like something from the restaurant in Ikea. That's good
thing. We have been known to grab a bite to eat when shopping there and
have even jumped off the highway on the way home to grab a cheap and
delicious dinner. I am surprised that they don't have buffets or
sandwich bars at Ikea. People have to assemble just about everything
else they buy there.

Kahuku used to be famous for their shrimp farms but my guess is that
shrimps are no longer grown/farmed there. The shrimp I get at the market
are from Vietnam or Thailand or India. Indeed, it is all frozen shrimp.

Asians feed shrimp chicken shit and they cut one eye of the mother
shrimp. That changes her hormonal system and makes her procreate
faster. Asians will do anything for an extra cent. Only buy shrimp
from civilised countries.

Shrimp and grits still isn't on menus here. The shrimp is easy to get.

Credit the Food Network. People started seeing shrimp and grits
on tv shows and restaurants started serving it. We've got a few
places up here that serve it. They're all relatively pricy
places. Prices range $20, $22, $28.65.

I see one place has grits with a bunch of vegetables and cheese
on top for $26. A little something for the vegetarians.

Is this so different from the shrimp lo mein I can get for $8? Never

like them. Oatmeal & malt o meal are pretty good...

I can sure believe that, your Majesty.

Perhaps you should start out by first eating ONE grit and not attempt a
whole bowl of grits. Or maybe you can find a place that uses Gullah
seasonings.

If all else fails, you could just have a bowl of chitlins. You might
like it better than your usual menudo.

You obviously forgot that Mr. T was supposed to end the war in the
Ukraine, end the war in Gaza, and reduce food/fuel prices on day one. He
was supposed to increase border security, and plans to reduce taxes by
trillions of dollars. He said some stuff about tariffs. I assume that
he's failed on that too. We'll know about that when prices for goods
jump up astronomically.

The second T presidency is pretty much the same as the first one -
broken promises, tax breaks for the rich, reduced services and funding
for Americans. There have been enhancements of rich greedy thugs in
business suits gaining control of the American people's money and
entitlements. Americans are now fearful of losing their jobs, homes, and
families, SS benefits, and Medicare/Medicaid benefits.

My guess is that you won't be so exuberant when you get your SS cut,
your Medicare benefits cut, and you can't afford your rent or food. My
guess is that you don't care about fuel prices but you'll end up paying

Pretty much. Trump is still butthurt that he got in trouble in
2019 for trying to strong-arm Ukraine. He's all about revenge.

WTF is that matter with that man? Yesterday he said that Ukraine started
the war with Russia. I think most of us remember that Russia invaded
Ukraine, not the other way around. They had been building up for it for
a while and saying they were preparing for a military operation. The US
was ready and willing to assist in a proxy war against their common enemy.

It would nice if the US was more consistent in their foreign relations.
They have been interested in Cuba for more than 150 years. They expanded
across to the Pacific and took control of Mexican territory. They had an
isolationist policy for a while but got sucked into WWI and then
weaseled out of the Treaty of Veraille so that saved them going in to
fight Germany in 1939 with their allies before they got roped into that
one. They were quick to drag the UN into Korea.They found a way to get
involved in Vietnam. More recently they gave Iraq tacit approval to
invade Kuwait but then turned around and organized a rescue mission to
chase them back. About a decade later they fabricated a story about WMDs
as an excuse to invade Iraq. Now he wants to pull everything back??? US
foreign policy now seems to depend on the day of the week.

what is it. She asked one of her co-workers and she said it was hominy.
Okay, I'll bite. What's hominy? She said since I ain't never had grits
she would bring me some. I liked it. But heck, I like Cream of Wheat.


I have had polenta a few times. They are similar but quite different. I
think the best I had was a herbed polenta. It had been cooked with some
herbs added and then cooled, sliced and fried. Very tasty. I might have
polenta more often but my wife does the low carb thing and doesn't care

Jamie Oliver did an interesting chocolate oatmeal porridge. It involved
processing processing some large flake oatmeal along with some medjool
dates 2and hazelnuts and adding some cocoa powder orange zest and some
more oatmeal and pulse it together. With most of the oatmeal finely

didn't know that. thanks. had polenta once. this is the recipe
we used;

-----
1 cup corn flour
1 cup water

Bring four cups of water to a boil. Add in a teaspoon of salt,
and about a tablespoon of olive oil. Next slowly add in the corn
flour into the boil water while stirring with a whisker. Make
sure to take your time doing this, or else the corn flour will
clump. I’d recommend to add the one cup of corn flour over a
period of 2-3 minutes, while constantly stirring with the
whisker. After all the corn flour is added, set the heat to
medium-low, so that it can cook slowly making sure it does not
burn. Every minute or so, mix the corn flour with a wooden
spoon. This will cook for about 20 minutes.
-----

after that i picked up polenta in a tube in a gocery store,
but put it back on the shelf. there are more satisfying ways to
eat corn. ymmv.

heh, microwave makes things like this much easier.
once i've got something up to temperature and have the
right proportions dialed in then i can set the microwave
to a certain power level to finish however minutes needed.

It's not very difficult to find peeled, *uncooked* shrimp in a 1 lb.

because they often get overcooked.

I'm not a big enough fan of shrimp to buy them fresh with the shells on
and bother to peel them. I remember when I was a teenager living in TN
my mother bought frozen shrimp to serve shrimp cocktail at holiday
dinners and they been shelled.

Gary used to give me a hard time, asking why didn't I just go to the
docks to buy fresh shrimp. Um. That's not the way it works. You can't
just walk onto a commercial fishing dock and buy freshly caught seafood.
Those people aren't looking to sell 1/2 a pound of shrimp or whatever
to individuals. They are commercial shrimpers and fishermen who do this
for a living. They sell their catch to local shops and restaurants.
You can go into local shops to buy fresh but you cannot walk out onto
commercial fishing docks and buy anything. Maybe it's different in
Virginia or other places.

I occasionally buy them frozen with the shells on. My preference
is the EZ-peel ones that have had the shell slit up the back and
have been deveined.

I mainly find only peeled and deveined shrimp in the freezer case.

I'd never buy pre-cooked shrimp; they're invariably overcooked for
my taste.

You remind me that I've got a pound of shrimp in the freezer that
aren't getting any younger. Maybe it's time for scampi alla griglia,
shrimp cocktail, or grilled shrimp.

I remember my mother making it (using dried chipped beef) when I
was a child. My father loved SOS. As a 6 year old, I didn't.
Stouffer's actually makes a decent frozen version of it (called
Creamed Chipped Beef, not SOS). When I told my mother she could
buy it frozen she was thrilled she didn't have to make it from
scratch. Not that it is complicated, she simply didn't enjoy
cooking.

I used to love SOS. I used Armour chipped beef. Then it went away
where I shop. I have used beef sandwich meat. That's not bad either.
Put cream of any meat on toast, and it's not bad. Thanks, Pastorio!
I grew up with creamed, canned shrimp on toast. Don't hate it until
you've tried it. :) Oh...buttered toast!
leo

Hat's off to Bob Pastorio for his "cream of anything" (although it
was more specifically geared towards cream soups). RIP, Bob.
I won't knock your having to use canned shrimp because you live in a
landlocked area. There is a recipe I got from a local restaurant in
SC that calls for small fresh shelled shrimp & ground pork breakfast
sausage, served in a cream sauce, spooned over hot biscuits.
Delicious!
Jill

Sounds it!

Now, I'm used to several types of SOS. Carriers and AMPHIBs have
Marines and sometimes (Rare but happened one deplotment to me) have
Army.

The 'contingent' or 'embarkable troops' bring their own cooks with
them. The nifty thing for the others is getting to see and work with a
Navy galley at sea. I take it ours are a HUGE step up from what you
can do with a field kitchen (AKA Visions of MASH). It's not their
fault, they have significantly less to work with.

SOS isn't just creamed 'S' on toast or a biscuit (Navy style tends to
biscuit but they also do toast sometimes.). Chipped beef is always
preferred but what was once a necessity due to long storage, on a Navy
ship is less so as they have lots of refers (refridgerators) to hold
frozen or defrosted meats. Chipped beef is less common now due to
expense. You are more likely to get ground beef or sausage. My
impression is that the Marine one had a tomato based sauce (not
creaamed) and Navy was cream (or evaporated milk). Both are equally
popular believe it or not.

You can tell if the chow will be good by trying the tomato based SOS.
If it's just tomato sauce and beef (ick) then it will be bad. However
others use diced tomatoes and lots of spices and it can be good indeed!

2. My tuna is packed in cans that require a can opener.

i didn't even know tuna came in cans with pull tab lids until
now.

Yep. It has for quite some time. Not all cans, obviously.
Those little single-serving cans did, and the moderately
fancy Spanish tuna that I buy does. Although I'm switching
to tuna in glass jars. It's about half the price, and I'm
starting to think $10 for one meal's worth of Spanish tuna
is not worth it.

i've seen tuna in serving size mylar packages, they're typically
with sardines, smoked oysters and whatnot. the canned tuna i eat
most often is solid albacore and i get that in 6 and 8 packs at
BJ's. try as i might, i don't recall ever seeing tuna in pull
tab cans. :/

https://www.kroger.com/p/starkist-solid-white-albacore-tuna-in-water/0008000001484
I used to buy these; 3 ounces is plenty of tuna for me, especially
as I used to only eat it as tuna-salad sandwiches with plenty of
celery, onion, and sliced green olives, which added considerable
bulk.

i see, easy open cans. little ones. i eat 5oz-ers mostly right out
of the can at work. keep a can opener in the silverware pocket in my
lunch bucket at all times. occasionally i'll put a can on salad for
protein but i prefer shrimp or chicken. and lately, beans.
the only other ways i eat tuna is in a casserole, occasionally a
tuna salad sandwich and it's just tuna and miracle whip with a
lot of fresh cracked peppercorn, and shit on a shingle. or
whatever warm creamed tuna with peas on toast is called. :)

Tuna casserole has only one legitimate function. When a traditional
housewife feels that her husband has not taken her out to dinner in far
too long, she can make a tuna casserole. The husband comes home and
asks, "What's for dinner, honey?"
The reply is, "Tuna casserole."
To which he responds, "You know, it's been a long time since I took you
out to a nice restaurant."
The tuna casserole gets fed to the dog because dogs will eat damned near
anything.

Those little single-serving cans did, and the moderately
fancy Spanish tuna that I buy does. Although I'm switching
to tuna in glass jars. It's about half the price, and I'm
starting to think $10 for one meal's worth of Spanish tuna
is not worth it.

i've seen tuna in serving size mylar packages, they're typically
with sardines, smoked oysters and whatnot. the canned tuna i eat
most often is solid albacore and i get that in 6 and 8 packs at
BJ's. try as i might, i don't recall ever seeing tuna in pull
tab cans. :/

I used to buy these; 3 ounces is plenty of tuna for me, especially
as I used to only eat it as tuna-salad sandwiches with plenty of
celery, onion, and sliced green olives, which added considerable
bulk.

i see, easy open cans. little ones. i eat 5oz-ers mostly right out
of the can at work. keep a can opener in the silverware pocket in my
lunch bucket at all times. occasionally i'll put a can on salad for
protein but i prefer shrimp or chicken. and lately, beans.
the only other ways i eat tuna is in a casserole, occasionally a
tuna salad sandwich and it's just tuna and miracle whip with a
lot of fresh cracked peppercorn, and shit on a shingle. or
whatever warm creamed tuna with peas on toast is called. :)

Tuna casserole has only one legitimate function. When a traditional
housewife feels that her husband has not taken her out to dinner in far
too long, she can make a tuna casserole. The husband comes home and
asks, "What's for dinner, honey?"
The reply is, "Tuna casserole."
To which he responds, "You know, it's been a long time since I took you
out to a nice restaurant."
The tuna casserole gets fed to the dog because dogs will eat damned near
anything.

2.  My tuna is packed in cans that require a can opener.

i didn't even know tuna came in cans with pull tab lids until
now.

Happy couples frequently engage in oral sex. Otherwise, they wouldn't
be happy couples. I once was in a relationship with a woman who didn't
like performing oral sex. Like a broken vacuum cleaner, I didn't know
whether to say that she sucked or she didn't.

The mouth is a very dirty place. Some say the dirtiest.

My guess is that her filter was clogged.

"Nauseating." Why a person of your means would eat peasant food isn't
easy to understand.
