Why is Thon Albacore classified in NOVA group 3 and does it contain any additives?

NOVA group 3 indicates foods that are processed with the addition of ingredients such as salt or brine; this tuna is simply packed in water and salt, with no preservatives, flavor enhancers or other additives listed on the label.

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

At 1 g of salt per 100 g, the product contributes about 400 mg of sodium, which is lower than many canned fish products but still represents a noticeable portion of the recommended daily limit of 2,300 mg, so it should be consumed in moderation by people on sodium‑restricted diets.

Is the tuna in this product safe for individuals with a fish allergy?

Yes, the ingredient list consists solely of albacore tuna, water and salt, and the product is flagged with a fish allergen; anyone with a fish allergy should avoid it.
