Essentially a whole-food protein in a can: solid albacore, water, a little sea salt, and a firming salt. Around 40g of lean protein per can with no oil or fillers, which is why it is consistently the best canned-tuna value. The only real caveat is mercury, since albacore runs higher than skipjack.

Ingredients (4)

Albacore tuna (safe) — A lean, high-protein whole fish rich in omega-3s. Albacore does carry more mercury than light tuna, so pregnant people and young children should limit intake.
Water (safe) — Used as a basic ingredient in bread.
Sea Salt (moderate) — Sodium source; no nutritional edge over regular salt.
Sodium pyrophosphate (moderate) — A minor firming and moisture agent used to keep texture and color. Present in trace amounts; not a meaningful concern here.
