Frequently asked questions

  • What can I make with canned tuna?

    Tuna salad for sandwiches, tuna pasta, tuna melts, tuna rice bowls, tuna-stuffed avocado, and tuna-topped crackers are all quick and satisfying options.

  • Is canned tuna healthy?

    Yes. Canned tuna is high in protein (25g per can) and omega-3 fatty acids, and low in calories and fat. Opt for tuna in water over oil to keep it lighter.

  • How often can I eat canned tuna?

    Health guidelines suggest 2–3 servings of fish per week. For canned light tuna, up to 2–3 cans per week is generally considered safe. Albacore (white) tuna has higher mercury, so limit to 1 can per week.
