Why is Thon entier au naturel classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what ingredients define this classification?

The tuna is cooked, deboned, and sealed in a metal can with added water and salt; these manufacturing steps constitute processing, placing the product in NOVA group 3 even though no additives are present.

How does the 1 g of salt per 100 g in this canned tuna affect a hypertensive diet?

One gram of salt provides about 400 mg of sodium, which is a moderate contribution to the recommended maximum of 2,300 mg per day, so people with high blood pressure should enjoy this tuna in limited portions.

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

Yes, tuna is a fish allergen and the label explicitly flags it; individuals allergic to fish should avoid this product.
