Due to Soy, Tri-Union Seafoods Issues Precautionary Recall of Select 5-Ounce Solid Light Tuna in Olive Oil

Feb 22, 2009 Food Recalls

Tri-Union Seafoods LLC is issuing a precautionary recall of the 5-ounce variety of Genova solid light tuna in olive oil.

Due to a production error, the product is mislabeled and contains albacore tuna in soybean oil with vegetable broth that contains soy. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soybean run the risk of serious allergic reaction if they consume these products. There have been no reported illnesses, and Tri-Union Seafoods is issuing the precautionary recall to protect public health.

Tri-Union Seafoods’ trace-back measures determined distribution of the product at retail was limited to 900 cases – the vast majority of which were distributed to the Northeast (two cases were distributed to Publix stores in the Southeast).

The 5-ounce variety of Genova solid light tuna in olive oil was distributed in January and February.

Consumers who purchased the 5-ounce variety of Genova solid light tuna in olive oil with the UPC code 4800013265, “Best By Date 10/17/12″ and product code DEHAH 1A225 or DEHBH 1A225 are asked to return it to the store where they purchased it for a full refund.

The UPC code (also known as bar code) is found on the side of the can and the best by date and product code are ink jet printed on the bottom of the can.

Consumers looking for additional information, please call 1-877-843-6376.

Baby’s Creamy Fish Chowder Recipe – Remember to save some for Your Baby!

Feb 19, 2009 Meat and Fish, New Baby Food Recipes

I’ve been thinking about making a nice hearty fish chowder. It’s such a hassle to make a truly tasty and hearty fish chowder, in a manner befitting an adult palate that is.  So taking an old recipe and giving many of the fish ingredients the heave-ho, we think this recipe is great and satisfies the craving for a fish chowder! Bonus – your 10 month or older baby will be able to enjoy this too! Don’t forget to visit our Introducing Fish to Your Baby page and our Fish Baby Food Recipes page as well!

6 yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced (any potato type will do but we love the taste of yukon gold!)
1 large onion, chopped and diced
1/2 pound haddock fillets, chopped into sizes that you like – we prefer pieces that are about 1 inch squares.
1 cup milk
shake of garlic powder
pinch of nutmeg
shake of pepper

Add the potatoes to a large pot and add just enough water to cover them; bring to a boil and then allow to simmer
Saute the onion until onions are translucent/soft then add them to the potatoes.
When the potatoes are soft and a bit mushy, and the liquid has turned a milky color, add the haddock pieces. Add your desired spices.

Maintain the simmer until the fish pieces have cooked through. Now, add the milk, slowly stirring it in and then simmer for an additional 10 minutes. You may add more or less of the milk depending on the texture you want.

Mash or puree a portion, if needed, to serve to your baby! Your bay may enjoy this with a bit of shredded cheese sprinkled on top!
