Why is Thon entier à l'huile de tournesol MSC classified as NOVA group 3 and what additives does it contain?

The product is a canned fish preserved in oil, which places it in NOVA group 3 as a moderately processed food; it contains no listed additives, only natural tuna, sunflower oil and salt.

How does the high fat and moderate salt content of this canned tuna affect a heart‑healthy diet?

With 16 g of fat per 100 g, mainly from sunflower oil, the tuna adds considerable calories, so it should be eaten in moderation, but its low salt level (0.8 g) is far below the average for canned foods, making it a reasonable protein source when balanced with other low‑fat foods.

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

Yes, the product lists fish (tuna) as an ingredient and carries a fish allergen warning, so anyone with a seafood allergy should avoid it.
