Frequently Asked Questions
Does Rio Mare Solid Light Tuna in Olive Oil contain allergens?
Yes. This product contains fish (tuna) as its primary allergen, and like other canned tuna it may carry mercury, so pregnant women and young children should follow general guidance on tuna serving frequency. Anyone with a fish allergy should read the printed panel on the can before eating, since facility notices can change between production runs.
Do I need to drain the can before using Rio Mare tuna?
No, draining is optional. You can drain the olive oil if you prefer a leaner dish, or keep it in and use it as part of the recipe for extra richness. Either way, the tuna is fully cooked and ready to eat straight from the can with no further preparation.
What is the difference between the 6 oz and 2.8 oz Rio Mare cans?
Both cans hold the same solid light yellowfin tuna in olive oil; the 6 oz (160 g) can is a shareable size suited to salads and family dishes, while the 2.8 oz (80 g) can is a single-serving portion. Choose the size based on how much tuna you want ready in one opened can.
What pack sizes are available for the 6 oz Rio Mare tuna?
This 6 oz (160 g) can is available as a Single, or in a Pack of 3 or Pack of 6 for stocking the pantry with multiple cans at once, which is a convenient way to keep several cans on hand for salads, sandwiches, and quick pasta dinners without reordering every week.
