Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered
I have tried a new food and my cat likes it. It is 'tuna in jelly', from Whiskas. One pouch of 85g, he eats almost all of it (leaves a little bit of it uneaten). I have seen on internet that tuna causes yellow fat disease. Can i feed it to him once a day? Also he is an adult cat. I don't know the exact age(i found him he was a stray and he's been with me ever since.) A picture of pack contents is attached.

It is just fine for Dusky to eat this once a day. To the best of my knowledge tuna from cat food does not cause yellow fat disease in cats. This is more a problem when cats eat tuna that is meant for human consumption. This article may help clarify this for you. Hope this helps. Great question!
