Analysis updated July 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This product contains high-quality yellowfin tuna and extra virgin olive oil, both of which are beneficial for health due to their nutrient profiles. However, the presence of sunflower oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, and the use of an additive for color detract from its overall healthiness. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite the presence of some beneficial ingredients.
