The Take
Tinned tuna is healthy when you skip the vegetable oil versions. Slop Score 19.
Single-ingredient cans deliver cheap, shelf-stable animal protein with zero marketing theater. Vegetable oil turns the whole thing into goyslop that inflames instead of fuels.
The Verdict
Buy Wild Planet or Safe Catch packed in water and you get based protein that great-grandma would recognize. Skip generic oily cans that tax you with seed oils and BPA.
