Why is Thon entier au naturel classified as moderately processed (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

The product is placed in NOVA group 3 because it is a canned fish that has been cooked and preserved with water and salt; the ingredient list shows only tuna, water and salt, and the label reports zero additives, so no additional processing agents are present.

How does the salt content of this canned tuna affect a low‑sodium or hypertensive diet?

With 1 g of salt per 100 g, the tuna contributes about 400 mg of sodium, which is modest compared with many processed meats, but regular consumption can still add up, so individuals on a low‑sodium or hypertensive diet should account for it within their daily sodium budget.

Is the tuna in this product a concern for people with fish allergies?

Yes; the ingredient list explicitly includes tuna, and the allergen information flags fish, so anyone with a fish allergy should avoid this product.
