About JALAPENO LIGHT TUNA, JALAPENO
Meijer Jalapeno Light Tuna is a flavored canned tuna product sold under the Meijer brand at Meijer, Inc. supercenter stores across the Midwest. The ingredients are light tuna and dried jalapeno peppers as the primary components, packed in water, with 2% or less of distilled vinegar, salt, sugar, garlic, natural flavors, and jalapeno powder. Light tuna refers to tuna species other than albacore, primarily skipjack and yellowfin, which have lower average mercury content than albacore white tuna. The combination of dried jalapeno and jalapeno powder creates a layered heat delivery, with the dried whole pepper pieces providing textural contrast and slow heat release, while the powder distributes spice uniformly throughout the brine.
This product contains fish (tuna) as a top-9 FDA allergen. It is free of wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, and shellfish. Gluten-free. Per 100 grams, jalapeno light tuna delivers 99 calories, 19.72 grams of protein, 2.82 grams of carbohydrates, and 1.41 grams of fat with no dietary fiber. A 71-gram serving provides approximately 70 calories and 14 grams of protein. The very high protein-to-calorie ratio makes flavored canned tuna an efficient protein source for meal planning. The vinegar and citric acid in the brine provide both preservation and a bright acidic note. Suitable for tuna salad, sandwiches, grain bowls, pasta salads, crackers, and as a direct protein addition to cooked dishes.
