Tuna (Light) nutrition facts

Choose an intact can without swelling, leakage, heavy rust, or a deep seam dent. Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place; after opening, transfer leftovers to a covered container and refrigerate.

More about allergens

This food is fish, one of the nine major food allergen groups recognized in the United States. Fish species must be identified on U.S. packaged-food labels; individual medical guidance and the current label take priority.

This general information does not replace the ingredient and allergen label on a packaged product or individual medical advice.

Interesting fact

A damaged can is a safety signal, not a cosmetic detail

A small shallow dent may be harmless, but a bulging, leaking, heavily rusted, or deeply dented can—especially at a seam—should be discarded without tasting. After opening, move leftovers out of the can and refrigerate them in a covered container.
