What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the canned seafood aisle or your pantry — a go-to for quick lunches, salads, sandwiches, or a protein boost after a busy day. It feels practical and wholesome: shelf-stable, protein-forward convenience with a clean ingredient list. The product is cooked and canned for preservation, yielding a flaky texture and long shelf life, which points to processing for stability rather than the formulations typical of ultra-processed foods.
