Misinformed is the proper term. Properly canned foods don't have botulism in them. Not to worry.
Your little bit of tuna steak won't harm your ferrets. I don't recommend an all-fish diet, but a little here or there won't hurt at all, and they may even benefit from those good fish-origin omega 3 fatty acids.
With kindest regards,
