Well, my face is red. I went to all that trouble to check the CFR
regarding vegetable broth, and then I didn't even bother to check a can
of tuna in my own pantry regarding casein. In my previous post, I said:
>First, remember that casein (milk protein) is gluten-free and therefore
>is not a problem for most celiacs. Only those celiacs with an additional

>listed as an ingredient on the label.
All of which is perfectly true. Then I couldn't leave well-enough alone.
Instead, I babbled:
>In any case, I think it is fairly clear that the above statement [which
>said that all tuna has casein] is not correct; I would venture to guess
>that most (if not all) canned tuna does NOT have casein in it.
I've already received a few posts listing several brands of tuna that
DO have casein, and I even found it listed on the brand in our pantry.
I dare say that not all canned tuna has casein, but certainly it often
does. So I apologize for jumping to a false conclusion, and hope the
first half of my previous post makes up for this blunder.
Cringing with remorse,
