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

It is classified as NOVA 3 because the tuna is cooked and packed in brine, which involves processing steps such as heating, draining and canning. The ingredient list shows only tuna, water and salt, and the product has zero additives, so no preservative or flavouring agents are present.

How does the salt content of this canned tuna affect people who need to limit sodium, such as those with hypertension?

The product contains 1.2 g of salt per 100 g (about 0.9 g in a 93 g pack), which is considerably lower than the average for canned seafood but still contributes to daily sodium intake; individuals on a low‑sodium diet should account for this amount when planning meals.

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

Yes, the primary ingredient is skipjack tuna, which is a fish, and the label flags fish as an allergen, so anyone with a fish allergy should avoid this product.
