Frequently Asked Questions
Does Chicken of the Sea Chunk Light Tuna contain allergens?
Yes. This product contains fish and is packed with vegetable broth, salt, and water; no other major allergens are listed on the can. Some people are advised to limit tuna intake because of naturally occurring mercury, particularly children and those who are pregnant or nursing. Read the printed label and follow FDA fish consumption guidance if you have concerns.
How should I store Chicken of the Sea tuna after opening?
Store unopened cans in a cool, dry pantry away from direct heat. After opening, drain any excess liquid, transfer leftover tuna to a covered, non-metal container, and refrigerate. Use refrigerated tuna within 3 days for best quality and food safety, and check it for an unusual odor before eating.
What is the difference between this tuna and Chicken of the Sea Solid White Albacore?
Chunk Light Tuna uses smaller species such as skipjack, giving a stronger flavor, softer texture, and 13g of protein per 2 oz drained serving. Solid White Albacore comes from a larger species with a milder taste, firmer flakes, and more protein per serving. Both are wild caught, Dolphin Safe, and packed in water.
Where is Chicken of the Sea Chunk Light Tuna made?
This can is a product of Vietnam, where the tuna is caught and packed before shipping to the United States. Chicken of the Sea sources tuna from different fishing regions depending on season and supply, so check the printed label on your can, since the country of origin can vary between production runs.
