Why does Tuna flakes in tomato have a Nutri‑Score of C, and which nutrients contribute most to this rating?

The product receives points for its protein content and low saturated fat, but it loses points due to relatively high total fat, added sugars, and moderate salt, which together lower its overall Nutri‑Score to C.

How might the sugar and salt levels in this canned tuna affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

At 3.6 g of sugars per 100 g, the product contains more carbohydrates than typical canned fish, which can raise blood glucose for diabetics, while the 1.2 g of salt adds to daily sodium intake and should be considered by those managing hypertension.

Is the tuna in this product a concern for people allergic to fish, and are there any other allergens to be aware of?

Yes, fish is listed as a known allergen, but the ingredient list does not contain common allergens such as gluten, dairy, or nuts; only added sugar may be relevant for those with specific sensitivities.
