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

[Maximilian]

Uncooked tuna.

Cooked tuna.

Ooo that looks fucking good! The raw stuff!

Well, you can eat chicken from a can. Does that work for you?

You can eat raw beef. Ever heard of steak tartare? I've seen Japanese restaurants do beef sushi as well. Health concerns scared people off it though. You have to be a lot more careful preparing and serving raw meat to ensure it's safe to eat. Parasites can also be an issue.

As the others said, all canned food is cooked and pasteurized. It can last near indefinitely as long as the can itself remains air tight.

I had raw horse when I went to Japan again in March. You can have anything raw if it's clean and prepped properly

How is canned tuna made?

From the initial catch until the finished product is shipped, StarKist Chicken of the Sea 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 Chicken of the Sea.

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

After the initial inspections, the fish chickens 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 chicken. Next each fish chicken 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 chicken, or to the "chopper" used to prepare chunk-style tuna chicken.

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 chicken 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 chicken meal and oil.

I was bored.

I thought raw tuna was purpleish?

All canned foods are cooked.

Seriously. Putting raw meat into a can and sealing it up would be a great way to get botulism.

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

Jesus.
Lockout/tagout procedure, especially if not doing it could get your ass pressure-cooked.


Somewhere among the thoughts of "Oh god I'm going to die," there must have also been "This is really fucked up."

In all fairness the maintenance worker that was cooked (Jose) is equally to blame for his own death.

If you work in the equipment maintenance field and do not know what "Lock-out / Tag-out Procedures" are you should probably find a new venue of work.

And just think of all that fish that was wasted. I am sure they had to dump it.

Depends on the type of tuna (eg bluefin, bigeye) and cut (akami, chu-toro, o-toro). I'm not an expert, but I'd guess the one in your pic as ahi/yellowfin akami

That's what I'm saying.

The lockout tag is effectively a stronger version of a "please do not kill me" Post-it Note.

Not if it's canned properly

I buy canned tuna in bulk at Costco :awe:

That is why you lock the machine power off with the lock that only you have a key to so that some dipshit operator cannot turn it on.

Thats a damn shame...


And who says you cant eat raw beef?

 

[BurnItDwn]

Tuna from a can is among the worst smelling so called "foods" humanity has to answer for. UGH I get nausea just thinking about it. I would rather eat raw hamburgers and get ecoli and be sick for a week than eat a can of tuna. The smell, its just so oppressive.

Sure its not spoiled or something? it just smellls like cooked fish to me. Canned tuna is one of my favorites. I even get the canned tuna in olive oil, strain it and dip my bread in the oil for a snack.

Good to know someone is keeping an eye on them. No telling what kind of trouble a bunch of frozen tuna could get themselves into.

Its a smell I can not stand.

The other smell that makes me want to hork, is yogurt.

tuna and yogurt are the worst smells.


the tuna might be because we have cats, and fiance loves to give them cans of "tuna" smelling cat food, which makes me associate the canned tuna with cat food tuna ..

or maybe just something about tuna ...

I love Salmon, tilapia, halibut, but Tuna I never ever eat.

I agree x1000000000. Growing up my sister and my mom loved eating that crap. My dad and I couldn't stand it. I could always smell it across the entire house and would have to open all windows, turn on all fans, spray whatever I could find in order to cover up the raunchy smell. It nearly makes me gag D:
