What You Should Know

You'd spot this 5 oz can in the canned seafood aisle or on a well-stocked pantry shelf — a handy protein for salads, sandwiches, or a quick snack on the go. It feels practical and slightly upscale thanks to the extra virgin olive oil, giving a wholesome, Mediterranean vibe rather than a highly engineered product. The simple canning preserves a firm tuna texture and uses recognizable ingredients, which points to a processed item (not ultra-processed) in NOVA terms.
