Open the Can for Healthy Eating has lots of useful information about the nutritional benefits of canned food.

Its 12 fact cards provide nutritional information and recipes for a range of dietary needs and feature advice from specialist organisations including Diabetes UK, The Vegetarian Society and the National Osteoporosis Society.
