About CHUNK LIGHT TUNA IN OIL
Kroger Chunk Light Tuna in Oil is a canned tuna product sold under The Kroger Co.'s Kroger brand. This product belongs to the canned tuna category and consists of chunk-style light tuna packed in soybean oil with vegetable broth and salt.
Light tuna refers to tuna species other than albacore — most commonly skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis) or yellowfin (Thunnus albacares) — which are lower in mercury than albacore (white) tuna, making light tuna varieties generally recommended for more frequent consumption. The four-ingredient formulation (light tuna, soybean oil, vegetable broth, salt) is straightforward. Soybean oil serves as the packing medium, contributing additional fat and calories compared to water-packed variants. Vegetable broth adds mild savory flavor. The ingredient list ends with a period after "salt" followed by a comma, which appears to be a typographic artifact in the USDA data entry and does not indicate additional unlisted ingredients.
Allergens present include soy (from soybean oil). No wheat, dairy, egg, or tree nut allergens are listed. This product is suitable for gluten-free and dairy-free diets based on listed ingredients.
Per 100 grams, this tuna provides 125 calories, 19.64 g protein, 0 g carbohydrates, and 4.46 g fat. The fat content is higher than water-packed tuna due to the oil packing medium. Protein content is high at 19.64 g per 100 g. Calorie density is low to moderate. This product is commonly used in tuna salads, sandwiches, pasta dishes, casseroles, and as a protein component in salads. Draining the oil reduces fat and calorie content before use.
