Why can I eat tuna from the can but not raw beef?

[Maximilian]

Like a raw steak or whatever...

If you know a good butcher that keeps a clean grinder, you can make Steak Tartare.

Costs a bit more of course, but there are some out there.

That one is a German thing, there are others.

I do know one place locally, but haven't stopped by there in a long time, as I do not work near it anymore.

Tuna from a can is cooked in the can. Raw beef is well ... raw.

 

[Phanuel]

Because Tuna in a can is cooked...

 

[MarkXIX]

Because the tuna is cooked in the can. It's not raw. Neither are the maintenance workers where they cook it.

I see you have no idea what raw tuna looks like.

 

[Slick Mcflicken]

It doesn't say "cooked" on the tomato paste can either. That shit must be raw.

It is precooked, canned, and then the cans are cooked in a retort for a couple hours to sterilize the whole thing.

How is canned tuna made?

From the initial catch until the finished product is shipped, StarKist Tuna undergoes rigid quality controls. At each step of the process, we take every care to provide the quality consumers have come to expect from StarKist.

The tuna are frozen while aboard the fishing vessel. Once the boat reaches the dock, the frozen tuna are unloaded and continuously monitored. Next the fish are thawed and cleaned. Each fish is individually checked, and any fish not meeting our standards are removed.

After the initial inspections, the fish are pre-cooked or steamed in large wire baskets and allowed to cool. Both the cooking and cooling processes are carefully timed according to the size and the type of fish. Next each fish is carefully hand-cleaned and inspected once again. The tender loins are cut into fillets and then conveyed to the filling machines that prepare solid-pack tuna, or to the "chopper" used to prepare chunk-style tuna.

Depending on the style, precise amounts of fine grain salt, vegetable broth and water or pure vegetable oil may be added. The filled cans are then vacuum-sealed and cooked (retorted) for a precise amount of time. We do not use all parts of the tuna in our canned product; only the light and white color portion of the body muscle and tissue are canned; the offal, heads, tails, bones, skin, and fins are put into our reduction plant to produce fish meal and oil.

All canned foods are cooked.

Dolphin safe. But fuck Jose.

 

[smackababy]

You can eat raw beef. The only issue arrives if there is contamination on the outside of the meat.

 

[LTC8K6]

From a public safety point of view, foods with low acidity (a pH more than 4.6) need sterilization under high temperature (116-130 °C). To achieve temperatures above the boiling point requires the use of a pressure canner. Foods that must be pressure canned include most vegetables, meat, seafood, poultry, and dairy products. The only foods that may be safely canned in an ordinary boiling water bath are highly acidic ones with a pH below 4.6,[3] such as fruits, pickled vegetables, or other foods to which acidic additives have been added.
