Sirena Tuna Oil 185g

Product Information

So, the fact the canned tuna in Australian cupboards is likely to contain smaller species is already a bonus when it comes to reducing mercury risk. Just before May last year, Greenpeace published a 'Canned Tuna Guide'. Brands were marked according to the following criteria:

Sustainability-conscious consumers have to be careful which tuna products they buy, because some species are at risk and others are overfished, explains Dr Quentin Hanich, leader of the Fisheries Governance Research Program at Wollongong University. It didn’t surprise me when I got to know the things that he does in his electorate,” Cunneen gushed before recounting a shopping list of Abbott’s local contributions. “Because he’s so physically and mentally disciplined, 24 hours of his day is really given to others. He is really a person for others and he takes that commitment so seriously.”

A new beginning

I saw one with sweet chilli had about 10g of sugar in it, but the ones in oil have basically none," Austin says. Carefully place the pancake (batter-side up), using the spatula, on top of the noodles in the other pan. Add the pasta shells, the tuna (drain about half the oil away) and the baby spinach and mix thoroughly. On the bottom of the list is the Sole Mare brand. Their product consists entirely of Yellowfin tuna. Sole Mare does not provide any information on fishing method used or catch area. Clearly there is lots of room for improvement here. pole-and-line, but uses yellowfin and tonggol tuna, and has poor labelling that doesn't specify the species. Woolworths

Some brands don't use extra virgin olive oil, so it can be a good idea to drain the oil out and add your own extra virgin olive oil, which has the most antioxidants." Over the years, some scientists have raised concerns about high concentrations of mercury in canned tuna. According to Pelle, the massive commercial purse seine operations in the Western Pacific are dominated by Japan, Korea, the United States and Taiwan. He says these huge ships harvest local resources but often exclude local fishers, and they can haul up 3000 tonnes of tuna in a single fishing trip – almost double the annual catch of some Pacific Island countries. The dose for pregnant women is approximately half this value — 1.6 micrograms per kilogram of body weight per week).You would have to eat around 25 tins (at 95g a tin) of it a week before you hit the maximum tolerable intake of mercury. For pregnant people (or people trying to get pregnant), the limit would be around 12 tins (at 95g a tin) a week. Pregnant women are advised to limit their fish intake because of placental transfer of mercury to the unborn foetus and the effect of mercury on neural development. Testing three tins Tuna in spring water tends to have less flavour, but Austin says it can be a good option for cooking. Combine the onion, cream, mustard, salt, pepper and cornflour in the bottom of a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly to distribute ingredients and remove any lumps of cornflour. The label 'dolphin friendly' is completely irrelevant in the Western Pacific," says Hanich. "It's the equivalent of saying it's koala friendly, because the chances of catching a dolphin are about the same as catching a koala in the nets."
