Italian canned fish brand Nostromo recently introduced new tuna can packaging that uses Real Peel technology to eliminate product waste and help people get food directly onto their plate without the need to dig around the can with a fork. The 'Apri gira facile' tuna can has a flexible aluminum lid and a design that's produced without an inner rim, which makes it possible for the contents of the packaging to be transferred without getting caught.
This redesigned packaging was created in response to input from consumers on a panel and it also introduces other changes such as reduced oil in the tuna can packaging—about 15 grams less. This change was implemented after findings showed that three our of four consumers do not make the most of the oil included in the tuna cans, and simply throw it away.
