What kind of tuna is canned tuna?

There are two main kinds of canned tuna: chunk light and solid or chunk white (albacore). All canned white tuna is albacore. Its mercury levels are almost three times higher than the smaller skipjack tuna, used in most canned light tuna products.

Which tuna is best?

Canned light tuna is the better, lower-mercury choice, according to the FDA and EPA. Canned white and yellowfin tuna are higher in mercury, but still okay to eat.

What can I mix with canned tuna?

There are many yummy things you can mix with canned tuna. You can mix mayo, onions, celery, avocado, cheese, greek yogurt and dijon mustard, just to name a few things. 

The Tuna Creations BOLD Tapatío pairs deliciously with the cool flavors of the cucumber and lime. It’s  so good with any veggies, in tacos, or even served with corn chips.
