What You Should Know

You'd spot this on the canned seafood shelf or in your pantry — a 5 oz tin that shows up when you're grabbing quick sandwich or salad ingredients, stocking for a storm, or packing a road-trip lunch. The vibe is practical and mildly nostalgic: a simple, protein-forward staple that feels wholesome and convenient rather than indulgent. Canning alters the tuna's texture and provides long shelf-life; with only tuna, extra virgin olive oil, water and sea salt listed, the product reflects processed-food characteristics (added oil and salt) rather than the industrial additives typical of ultra-processed items.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

The tuna is cooked and canned with added olive oil and sea salt for preservation and flavor, which are processing steps consistent with NOVA group 3 (processed foods); it lacks the industrial additives, emulsifiers, and reformulated ingredients that would indicate an ultra-processed (NOVA 4) product.
