Below comes from the Starkist site...FAQs,,, Buying tuna should be a 'read the label'
venture.
Q. What kind of vegetables are used in the vegetable broth?
A. Vegetable broth is added to some StarKist® Tuna products as a flavor enhancer. The vegetable broth is made from dehydrated vegetables as determined by FDA (Food & Drug Administration) standards. The broth must consist of two or more of the following: beans, cabbage, carrots, celery, garlic, onions, parsley, peas, potatoes, green or red bell peppers, spinach, or tomatoes.The vegetable broth used is made from dehydrated vegetables as determined by FDA standards. The broth must consist of two or more of the following: beans (including soybeans), cabbage, carrots, celery, garlic, onions, parsley, peas, potatoes, green or red bell peppers, spinach or tomatoes.If you have dietary restrictions or allergies to any of these ingredients, you might want to try StarKist® Low Sodium Tuna which contains only tuna and water, or Gourmet's Choice Tuna Fillet which is available packed in water or olive oil.
Q. Does StarKist® Tuna contain any gluten or grain ingredients?
There is no gluten in StarKist® Tuna with the exception of one variety of Tuna Creations - Herb & Garlic, which contains ingredients from wheat and barley. Additionally the crackers in StarKist Lunch to-Go® would contain gluten. Please note that due to product changes or new product introductions, we always recommend you check the ingredient statement for the most current ingredient information.
