Tuna isn't so bad if it's from the tin, I think it's something to do with the levels of Mercury it contains. Most fist has a certain level of mercury but Tuna along with Marlin etc has the highest levels.

You are allowed about 2 small cans per week though x

yeh hollyjadebear is right it is because it contains mercury , you are allowed 2 fresh tuna steaks or 4 tins or at least that is what my mw said , i have a thing for tuna mayo and cucumber baguettes .x

i thought eating albacore would be better for baby but oooh no. im glad i researched. it has more mercury than chunk light.

I was told no more than 4 tins, I'm sure a little of what you fancy will do you good xxx

Well if you're allowed 4 of those small tins a week, thats 4days you can have tuna mayo and sweetcorn, and you can probably make 2 servings out of one tin, so basically you can have a bowl of it everyday!!
