SALT IN TUNA - QUICK ANSWERS NEEDED

7 replies

PanicPants · 17/05/2006 16:33

I'm in middle of making tuna & swetcorn pasta for ds, when I noticed the 'tuna in spring water' I've just bought as opposed to the 'tuna in brine' inthe cupboard has got salt in it.

It doesn't say how much, but the tuna in brine has got 0.4g per 100g in it.

Do you think this is ok to use for 8mth ds?

I'm right in the middle of cooking and have the onions, sweetcorn, pasta and tomatoes cooking already.

I doubt the tuna in spring water has much salt in it babies under 12 months shuld have no more than 1 gram of salt a day so if he hasn't had more than this he'll be fine.
I cant help laughing at your name it is quite apt isn't it Wink

Sorry, didn't understand post I don't think - you want to use the tuna in spring water? Yes, definitely use it.

Ok will use it, he doesn't have any other salt in his diet, other than whats in readybrek or weetabix

so it'll be ok, won't it?

I know ledodgyherring, I panic over everything - gets tedious even to me after a while!
