Question

Can toddlers eat canned tuna?
Little Lunches Expert Answer
Yes—toddlers can have canned tuna in small amounts. Since tuna can contain mercury, it’s best to offer it only occasionally and in kid‑size portions. Pick “light” tuna instead of albacore. Offer about 1–2 oz once a week, and mix it with other foods to tone down the salt and strong flavor.
