Excerpt taken from Exante website. I had no idea this was the case with tinned Tuna until I read this.
'Tinned tuna contains no healthy omega-3 fatty acids FACT
Omega 3 fatty acids in oily fish have been shown to help protect against heart disease. You should aim to eat two portions of fish a week one of which should be oily fish. Some tinned fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines and pilchards maintain their omega 3 levels however tinned tuna does not. This is because the oils are lost during the canning process. Fresh tuna does count as oily fish and is a great way to increase your intake of healthy fats'
