Wait, there’s more! Many tuna cans are lined with BPA, a chemical that can mess with your hormones like a bad Tinder date. But here’s the plot twist: BPA-free cans are becoming common, and the amount that leaches into tuna is tiny. Still, if you’re paranoid, look for brands that say “BPA-free” on the label. Or just eat tuna fresh—but who has time for that?

The Salt and Sodium Trap
Most canned tuna is packed with salt to prevent it from tasting like wet cardboard. A single can can contain 400 to 600 mg of sodium, which is a decent chunk of your daily limit. If you’re watching your blood pressure, buy low-sodium tuna, or rinse the tuna under cold water to wash away some of the salt. Yes, you’ll look like a kitchen lunatic, but your arteries will thank you.
