If you are a fan of America's favorite fish, you know that tuna has some issues. First there is the mercury. Then, assuming it is canned tuna, there is the salt.

 

Well, Starkist and Bumble Bee have scratched sodium off the problem list. Each sells a Very Low Sodium Chunk White Albacore Tuna in Water with only 35 mg of sodium per quarter cup. That is just a fraction of the 250 mg in that much ordinary canned tuna.

 

How will your taste buds take the news?

 

They might notice the difference if you sample a morsel right out of the can. But if you mix in mayo, celery, onion, and the usual tuna salad fixin's and house it all in a crusty roll with lettuce and tomato, you won't get any complaints.

 

And if you do, try Starkist Low Sodium Chunk Light Tuna in Water, which has 100mg of sodium per quarter cup. Faced with a lineup of tuna salads, only the most sensitive tasters would ever be able to pick it out.
