About LIGHT TUNA IN WATER, LIGHT IN WATER
Meijer Light Tuna in Water is a canned tuna product sold under the Meijer store brand of Meijer, Inc., the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Midwest supercenter chain. Light tuna refers to tuna species such as skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis) or yellowfin (Thunnus albacares), which are lighter in color and lower in mercury than albacore (white) tuna, making them a frequently recommended option for regular consumption. The ingredient list is short and clean: light tuna, water, vegetable broth made from pea and carrot, and salt. The vegetable broth distinguishes this product from the most basic brined tuna, adding a subtle savory note. Per 100 grams, the product provides 113 calories, with an excellent 22.54 grams of protein, 1.41 grams of carbohydrates, and 1.41 grams of fat. A single 71-gram serving delivers approximately 80 calories and 16 grams of protein, making it one of the most protein-dense, low-fat animal protein sources available. The product contains no artificial additives, preservatives, or allergens beyond fish (tuna). No HFCS or artificial flavors are present. Canned light tuna is a broadly recommended lean protein source in dietary guidelines, particularly valued for its omega-3 fatty acid content relative to its low overall fat level.
