@jemmerjams - from a bacteria standpoint, canned meat should be safer than lunch meat. But from a salt standpoint, I would guess most of it is pretty high.
I’ve never checked the label for preservatives (another thing some people worry about foodwise during pregnancy).
@Laumb11 I love tuna, although I rarely eat it. And canned salmon is good on salads if you can find a brand that doesn't taste like canned meat. But other than that, I find canned meat weird. I don't personally know anyone who keeps it in their pantry.
Does it include Vienna sausages? I don't eat them but my sister will get them. But yea ick. We ate tuna sandwiches when I was a kid, but DH won't touch the stuff, Which is fine by me!
Canned salmon is good for making salmon cakes! I eat canned tuna too and I'm on the east coast @knottieamusements my whole family does too (NY/NJ) so I don't think it's a midwest thing. Spam and vienna sausages on the other hand... yick.
I remember being sooo intrigued by Vienna sausages when I was little and of course my mom wouldn’t buy them. A few months ago I saw them and decided to try them. Seriously nasty. Never again unless I’m starving. I make some pretty amazing tuna salad though with canned tuna.
Vienna sausages were a staple of my Grandad’s lunch box for fishing trips. That and anchovies. Thankfully, he usually had us kids just for the morning or the afternoon...
@kiwi2628@SawyerRichardson save yourselves and stay far away! I ate them once not knowing what there were as they were mixed in with some rice someone made at a family party. Never again.
I do eat canned tuna occasionally but wasn't thinking that it was included in canned meat. Duh!
Sardines too! When we lived in Brazil, we would occasionally get these boxes of "American food" in case we were having trouble adjusting to foreign cuisine. There were always sardines and my mom loved them. I had them on occasion and liked them, but I don't think I could stomach them now.
@SweetSweetTooth Nothing so exciting. Lol. My dad used to work for Ford. The sent us down there for a year and a half when I about 10. We lived in Sao Paulo. It was a pretty cool experience but I think I might have been to little to really appreciate it. We also lived in Mexico for 3 years when I was a baby.
I realized it sounded like I hate tuna, which I don't. Tuna salad sandwiches really aren't that bad. I'm just not like WOOHOOO TUNA SALAD!!! YAAAASSS!!! So since DH doesn't eat it, it just doesn't get bought.

Did you ever read the book Fordlandia? I bought it... and never got around to it. But that made me think of it.
Re: Spam & other canned meats recalled
@Laumb11 yeah I know people like canned fish (you all are weirdos, for the record
And a lot of people eat canned fish (particularly tuna) and sausages.... (Maybe this is a midwest thing?)

I would eat Vienna sausages all the time as a kid. Not now though.
