Why is this tuna classified as NOVA group 3 and does it contain any additives?

NOVA group 3 indicates a moderately processed food; the can holds only tuna, sunflower oil and salt, with no artificial flavors, preservatives or other additives, so it remains minimally processed.

How does the salt content in this product affect a hypertensive diet?

At 1 g of salt per 100 g, the product provides less sodium than most canned fish, making it a relatively lower‑salt option for people monitoring blood pressure, but it should still be eaten in moderation as part of an overall low‑salt diet.

Is this tuna suitable for gluten‑free, keto or vegan diets?

The product is certified gluten‑free, contains virtually no carbohydrates and zero sugars, which fits well with keto principles, but it is not vegan or vegetarian because it contains animal‑derived tuna.
