Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Tuna Jalapeños Poppers Recipe

Filed Under: Appetizer Recipes, blogging, Recipes Tagged With: , , , ,

*This is not sponsored, but just was so happy too share a tuna Jalapeños Poppers recipe that is safe for all, especially pregnant mamas!

So, I admit it here. Maybe I am weird, but I am not a fan of regular tuna fish.

I do enjoy it if it prepared and mixed into another recipe though.

But I also am conscious of the issues with high mercury levels with seafood and fish, especially when I was pregnant with my girls. This is the main reason why during both of my pregnancies I stayed away from consuming fish, especially tuna.

See mercury has always been a part of nature and present in trace quantities in all types of food. However, man-made mercury pollution has tripled mercury presence in oceans ultimately causing a wider variance of mercury levels in fish. It is because of this that pregnant and breast-feeding women are warned not to eat seafood, because of the risks of mercury in fish that can be harmful to developing babies.

But now, thanks to Safe Catch, this has become a none issue.

How is this possible?

Safe Catch has indeed solved this problem by developing the first technology solution to screen every single fish for purity.

In this vain, Safe Catch is the only brand to establish purity levels that are stricter than the Consumer Report’s ‘Low Mercury’ criteria limit and average set in 2014 for pregnant moms and children. Thus, Safe Catch is also the only canned tuna to be able to surpass the purity and Omega 3 criteria for “best seafood” as set by the Environmental Working Group.

Therefore, all can enjoy America’s favorite fish worry free, including athletes, kids and even pregnant women.

But back to the issue at hand enjoying tuna fish, but only mixed into a recipe.

    We love bacon wrapped Jalapeño poppers but I’ve never made them with Tuna before. This is a new twist and I’d love to try this. Maybe I might even try with a different fish as well. We love fish and we LOVE Tuna. I’ve never tried this brand of Tuna though, I’ll have to look out for it at the supermarket.

    Omg, this looks so delicious Janine! Hmm bacon and tuna and jalapeno, wish I was there to eat it right off the bat. Haha. Actually, my hometown boasts of fresh tuna fish and is one of the largest producers in our country so I totally grew up eating it and loving it until now.

    You know I love bacon wrapped anything! This looks awesome. Tuna has grown on me but with two pregnant women in my family, it helps to have something better on hand for them.
