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

The tuna is cooked, cleaned and canned with water and salt, but no preservatives, flavorings or other additives are listed, so the product contains only tuna, water and salt.

How does the sodium (salt) content in this canned tuna affect a hypertensive or salt‑restricted diet?

With $1\ \text{g}$ of salt per $100\ \text{g}$, the product is lower in sodium than many canned foods, yet regular consumption can still contribute significantly to daily limits, so hypertensive individuals should enjoy it in moderation.

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

Yes; the product's sole protein source is tuna, a fish, which is a common allergen, so anyone with a fish allergy should avoid it.
