Why is Thon entier au naturel classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is actually classified as NOVA 3, which reflects a processed food that has been cooked and canned but contains no added ingredients beyond the tuna itself, water and a small amount of salt; therefore there are no additives present.

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

With 1 g of salt per 100 g, the product provides a moderate sodium amount that fits within most daily limits but should be accounted for by individuals on a low‑sodium or hypertensive diet, especially when combined with other salty foods.

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

Yes, the product’s main ingredient is tuna, a fish, which is a recognized allergen; anyone with a fish allergy should avoid it, while it is safe for those without such sensitivities.
