Corned Tuna: Is it good?

[tidus1203]

Have tried Century awhile ago. Mas hindi maalat and thus I prefer it over San Marino...

[ooba99]

Naubos yung regular size and chili corned tuna ng San Marino sa Parco sa Q Ave. Bumili ako ng nung maliit na 100 gm size can para matikman pero hindi chili flavored.

I checked the Sodium content of this plain San Marino corned tuna on the nutrition information printed on the label, it says: 72 %. And the serving size is only 56 gms, meaning this small can of 100 grms is about 2 serving size. Obviously, ubos ipang-ulam itong isang maliit na can na ito. So it means isang pasada pa lang nito eh sobra sobra na sodium na boundary nyo for the day.

So warning sa mga mataas ang high blood, hinay-hinay lang mga chong.

Bukas ng umaga ko huhusgahan itong hyped San Marino corned tuna na ito. Pati ako na-intriga eh, hehehe.

Sir tidus, I also bought the Century chili corned tuna. I checked the label... Yes, your taste buds are right, mas mababa ang sodium content. The label says 13% only per serving of 56 gms, in contrast to the very high sodium content of San Marino at 72% for the plain and 83% (for the chili variety?) as reported by others.

So sodium content -wise, mas healthy ang Century.

hmm kaya pala wala akong makitang San Marino corned tuna.. ni blo block pala nang Century.. tsk tsk tsk

The local canned tuna industry is no small fry.

It’s a whopping P6-billion industry and based on reports, about 99 percent is controlled by one company.

This company, the Century Pacific Group, was charged of unfair trade practices before the Department of Trade and Industry for allegedly blocking the entry of Foodsphere’s San Marino Corned Tuna into local supermarkets. The lawyer suing the Century Group is Raymond Fortun.

A monopoly is defined as a situation in which a single company controls all or nearly all of the market for a given type of product or service.

If one controls 99 percent of a product category, is there a monopoly?

They say that Century has been dominating the canned tuna trading for more than three decades now. The group also bought the “Blue Bay” brand from RFM Corp.

According to the Foodsphere camp, the Century group’s market share by way of “bullying” competition.

Observers say there is nothing wrong with having a 99 percent share of the market. The problem lies with how one gets there.

It’s now up for the DTI to look into these allegations. In the end, what is important is that the consumers benefit from any decision that the trade department makes.

nagkalat ang san marino sa makati supermarket, hehe,pero century binilinamin ni misi, natikman na namin san marino

[winged_angel]

yeap, dito din sa sta mesa nagkalat ang san marino. pareho sila ng century corned tuna actually. kakatawa nga magkatabi pa sila, talagang banggaan when we went dun sa grocery our plan talaga is to stock up on canned goods. when it comes to tuna, century ang type namin. pero nagsama na rin kme ng san marino para matikman ito. at un, nasubukan ko na nga ang parehong corned tuna. pero i'd still prefer century over san marino. bakit? mas nasarapan ako. less lansa and the taste is just right. new fave ko na yang corned tuna. mejo lasang corned beef nga, but the tuna is still there sa lasa.

[testament11]

[pieche]

mas masarap sakin yung sa century saka mukhang natural yung itsura nya. less din pati yung ingredients pampataba.

[CVT]

After trying the Century tuna brand,- I think I'll buy more of this than San Marino.....

[woohoo]

Mas masarap ba pag mas maraming sodium?

[XTO]

buti nga sodium lang. sodium acts as natural food preservative since our ancestors, yes it highly contributes to hypertension but with proper water intake this can be easily neutralized - water soluble ito

matakot tayo sa sodium nitrate or salitre. try nyo iwan sa lamesa yung lutong tocino, longanisa or any coldcuts with nitrate or salitre - isang linggo na di pa sira, sila yung mga meat na embalsamado

oh healthy tips yan ha?

[jjmd3_787]

Hindi ko pa nasubukan yung San Marino. Pero yung sa Century . . . ang sagwa ng lasa. Pweh!

Canned food pa rin yan. At lahat ng canned foods, kahit NO PRESERVATIVES pa ang nakatatak, ay masama pag palagian.

[Horsepower]

Tried the Century, ok lang. Yung tipong, pag wala ka nang makain talaga, pwede na rin. San Marino, I won't try that kasi gawa lang ng CDO yan e.

I still prefer the Hot and Spicy fish flakes for rice or bread.

last week galing sa bakasyon ung kasamahan namin sa bahay. ang pasalubong ay century corned tuna. nung matikman ko, sobra akong nasarapan at since kontin lang dala nya, punta agad ako sa filipino store, buti na lang meron na agad sila kaso sobrang mahal!!!

umabot halos 100 petot! hay, sakit sa bulsa, pero bili parin ako para lang masatisfy ang craving. di bale, antay ko nalang pag uwi ko.

[LeOxe]

San Marino Corned Tuna for me. Di ko kasi type yung taste ng competitor. To each his own.

[anton10]

mas masarap ang century tuna :hungry:

[jjmd3_787]

Earlier i've said that Century's CT sucks . . . nakakasuka! Last night I tried San Marino. Mukhang fresh from the sea ang tuna ng San Marino . . . pano e saksakan ng alat! :puke1:

I think tuna is not meant to be "corned". Well, that's just me, thinking out loud . . .
