Frequently Asked Questions
Does Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna contain allergens, and should I worry about mercury?
This can lists Tuna as its only allergen, along with water, vegetable broth, and sea salt. Chunk light tuna is typically a lower-mercury choice than albacore because it comes from smaller fish, but the FDA still publishes serving guidance for pregnant women and young children, so check current FDA and EPA advice and the printed label before regular use.
How should I store and serve Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna?
Keep unopened cans in a cool, dry pantry; no refrigeration is needed before opening. Drain the can before serving, then use the tuna in salads, sandwiches, pasta, or rice bowls, or eat it straight from the can. Once opened, move any leftover tuna to a covered container, refrigerate it, and use it within 3 to 4 days.
What is the difference between Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna and Bumble Bee Low Sodium Albacore?
Chunk Light Tuna comes from smaller tuna species, giving darker meat, a stronger flavor, and 23g of protein per can. Low Sodium Albacore uses larger white tuna with a milder taste, 29g of protein, and about half the sodium. Both are packed in water in a 5 oz can with a similar short ingredient list.
What sizes and pack options are available for Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna?
This tuna comes in a 5 oz (142g) can with about 4 oz (113g) of drained tuna once you pour off the liquid. Real Prime Deals offers it as a Single can or in packs of 3 and 6, which makes it easy to keep a supply on hand for quick meals throughout the week.
