The barcode 4002442821829 is associated with the product "K-Classic Thunfischfilets in Sonnenblumenöl" (K-Classic Tuna Fillets in Sunflower Oil), a canned tuna product commonly found in European supermarkets, particularly in Germany and Austria. Below are key details based on available information:

Product Overview

• Brand: K-Classic (a budget-friendly line under the Kaufland supermarket chain, part of the Schwarz Group).
• Type: Canned tuna fillets (prepared in sunflower oil, not water or oil blends).
• Packaging: Typically a 120 g can (standard size for single-serving tuna).
• Origin: Tuna is often sourced from wild-caught stocks, though exact fishing regions (e.g., Pacific, Atlantic) are rarely specified on the label. Some K-Classic products may use sustainability-certified fish (e.g., MSC or ASC), but this barcode does not explicitly confirm it. For precise sourcing, check the label on the actual product.
• Ingredients:
  • Tuna fillets (primary ingredient).
  • Sunflower oil (for cooking).
  • Possible additives: salt, citric acid (for preservation), and sometimes ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to prevent oxidation.
  • No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives (common in budget brands).
• Allergens: Contains fish (obvious) and may be processed in facilities with soy/nuts (check label for cross-contamination warnings).
