About CHUNK LIGHT TUNA IN VEGETABLE OIL, CHUNK LIGHT IN VEGETABLE OIL
Meijer Chunk Light Tuna in Vegetable Oil (variant A) is a canned tuna product packed in soybean oil, sold under the Meijer private-label brand by Meijer, Inc. of Grand Rapids, Michigan. This product belongs to the canned tuna category and represents the traditional oil-packed format for chunk light tuna, which yields a richer flavor and higher fat content relative to water-packed versions.
The ingredients are chunk light tuna, soybean oil, vegetable broth (which contains soy and serves as a flavor and moisture agent), and salt. The use of soybean oil as the packing medium increases the total fat content substantially compared to water-packed tuna, as the tuna absorbs oil during the retort sterilization process. Vegetable broth derived from soy is a common addition in commercial canned tuna to improve flavor and moisture retention. Salt provides seasoning.
Nutritionally, this product provides 125 calories per 100 grams, higher than the water-packed variants due to oil contribution. Protein is 19.6 grams per 100 grams — slightly lower than the water-packed versions because oil packing dilutes the protein concentration per unit weight. Fat is 5.4 grams per 100 grams and carbohydrates are zero. No fiber is recorded. The serving size is 56 grams.
Allergens: fish (tuna) and soy (soybean oil, vegetable broth containing soy). No wheat, dairy, eggs, peanuts, shellfish, or tree nuts are listed. The product is not vegan due to the fish content. Individuals with soy allergy should avoid this product due to both soybean oil and soy-containing broth. Gluten-free per listed ingredients.
