About CHUNK LIGHT TUNA IN VEGETABLE OIL, CHUNK LIGHT TUNA
Great Value Chunk Light Tuna in Vegetable Oil (Chunk Light Tuna) is an oil-packed canned tuna product from Walmart's Great Value private label. Light tuna refers to species such as skipjack or yellowfin tuna, which carry lower average mercury concentrations than albacore (white) tuna, making them generally preferred for higher-frequency consumption. This variant is packed in soybean oil rather than olive oil or vegetable broth, which is the traditional American style for oil-packed canned tuna and contributes additional calories and fat compared to water-packed versions.
The ingredient list is simple: light tuna, soybean oil, water, and vegetable broth. Soybean oil is a refined oil, and for most individuals with soy allergies refined soybean oil does not trigger reactions due to the removal of soy proteins during refining; however, highly sensitive individuals should exercise caution. The vegetable broth serves as a flavor base. No preservatives, no artificial flavors, no TBHQ or BHA, and no salt are listed, which is notable given that many canned tuna products include salt as a fourth ingredient.
Nutritionally, a 113-gram serving provides 115 calories, equating to approximately 102 calories per 100 grams. Protein is 23.01 grams per 100 grams, which is high, and fat is 2.65 grams per 100 grams, which is modest even for an oil-packed tuna due to the relatively small amount of oil retained in the drained product. Carbohydrates are zero and fiber is absent. The calorie and fat content is higher than water-packed variants but still competitive. This product suits consumers who prefer the texture and flavor richness of oil-packed tuna at the Great Value budget price point.
