According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), any food that has been altered from its raw agricultural state is considered processed. So, is tuna in the package processed? The definitive answer is yes, though the level of processing varies greatly depending on the product and packaging.

According to the National Fisheries Institute, Americans consume around a billion pounds of canned and pouched tuna annually. For many consumers, the choice between the traditional can and the modern pouch is a regular dilemma, with each offering distinct pros and cons that go far beyond simple packaging.
