Place cans and pouches of tuna in a cool place. The best temperature for storage is room temperature.

Absolutely! Tuna is a low-fat protein choice with about 2 grams of fat per 2.5-ounce portion of solid white albacore tuna. More importantly, the majority of fat in tuna is healthy unsaturated fats, like omega 3 fatty acids. Some fat is important to help absorb vitamins and minerals from the meal you're eating.

Not only is it lower in sodium and other additives, it's a good source of omega-3 fats and a great way to add protein to your lunch! Compared to canned fish, the vacuum-sealed pouches also have a fresher flavor and texture.

Should you eat tuna every day? We don't recommend eating anything every single day! It's a good idea to eat a variety of food to get all the nutrition you need. Seafood, including tuna, should be enjoyed 2 to 3 times a week.

All but one of the light tunas in our tests had levels low enough that CR's experts think that, assuming no other fish is consumed, adults who are not pregnant could eat three 4-ounce servings a week, and children could eat two 1- to 4-ounce servings (depending on age).

If you'll be flavoring your tinned fish, reach for water-packed. You may believe that, nutritionally, the better choice is tuna packed in water because it contains fewer calories than tuna packed in oil. Tuna in oil, however, is higher in bone-healthy vitamin D and selenium, which helps your body fight infections.
