For gluten-free shopping, choose a family-size mackerel multipack by first checking the “gluten-free” claim, ingredients and allergen information on the exact product you’re buying, especially if you need to avoid gluten strictly. Then compare the plain, grilled and olive oil recipes by tin weight, nutritional information and storage instructions once opened. A short ingredients list alone isn’t enough to confirm the claim you’re looking for.
If you’re buying for someone with coeliac disease or following a strict gluten-free diet, don’t assume a recipe is suitable just because it appears to contain no cereals. Check for a “gluten-free” claim and read the ingredients on the exact product you plan to buy.
If you want to spread the tins across several meals, the number of tins and their weight matter just as much as the recipe. Saupiquet’s plain 3 × 169 g and grilled plain 3 × 120 g multipacks come in different sizes. You’ll also need to follow the storage instructions for each tin once opened.
If you’re happy with either recipe, compare the ingredients and nutritional information per 100 g. Auchan’s product listings for Saupiquet’s grilled plain and olive oil multipacks show different amounts of energy and fat.
If avoiding gluten is essential, start by checking the label on the exact multipack. Then choose the tin size and recipe that suit your meals.

The ingredients lists for the Saupiquet plain, grilled plain and olive oil multipacks viewed on Auchan don’t, by themselves, confirm a “gluten-free” claim for these specific packs.
If you need to avoid gluten strictly, check for the claim you’re looking for, along with the ingredients and allergen information, on the pack you’re actually buying.
The 110 g Petit Navire plain tin and the Saupiquet 3 × 120 g or 3 × 169 g multipacks are separate products. Don’t assume that the recipe or labelling information for one applies to another.
Check the recipe, weight and label of the product you’re adding to your basket.
According to the Auchan product listings for the Saupiquet multipacks viewed, the grilled plain version contains 206 kcal and 15 g of fat per 100 g, compared with 371 kcal and 35 g per 100 g for the olive oil version.
If these values matter to you, compare the nutritional information per 100 g for each recipe, then take into account the portion you plan to use.
The Saupiquet product listings for the multipacks viewed say to transfer the contents to a suitable food container once opened, store at between 0 and 4 °C and consume within 48 hours.
Plan portions to suit your meals and follow the instructions on the pack you buy.

The product viewed on E.Leclerc is an individual 176 g tin of mackerel fillets in white wine.
No. Neither the fish itself nor a short ingredients list is enough to confirm that a specific tinned product carries a “gluten-free” claim. If you need to avoid gluten strictly, check for the claim, ingredients and allergen information on the label for the recipe and pack size you’re buying.
Not necessarily. The weight of each tin needs to suit your planned portions and meals. The Saupiquet multipacks viewed are available in 3 × 120 g and 3 × 169 g sizes. Their product listings say that, once a tin is opened, any leftovers should be transferred to a suitable container, stored at between 0 and 4 °C and consumed within 48 hours.
The ingredients and nutritional values differ between the two Saupiquet multipacks viewed on Auchan. The grilled plain version contains 206 kcal and 15 g of fat per 100 g, compared with 371 kcal and 35 g per 100 g for the olive oil version. Also compare the ingredients and tin size for the way you plan to use them. These differences don’t confirm whether either product carries a “gluten-free” claim.
Yes. Check the allergen information for the product you’re buying, especially if the meal is for someone with a fish allergy. The Joybuy product listing viewed for Petit Navire 110 g plain mackerel fillets states “Contains Fish (Mackerel)”. Check the label separately for any other product or pack size.
