Italian term or phrase: tonno in busta
anyone know what this is? the recipe ingredients are:

4 focaccine - 1 confezione di Tonno in busta - 100g di formaggio fresco - 100g di peperoni - qualche foglia di insalata

i'm not sure it's directly identifiable with the "confezione di tonno" also frequently mentioned in these lists.

sachet of tuna


Explanation:
I've seen them on sale here: they're the same bags/sachets used to sell premium pet foods. I'd be inclined to think that a "confezione di tonno" would be a normal tin, unless specifically stated otherwise.

I'm not sure if "sachet" is the accepted term or if they're called something else - cerrtainly it seems to be used for cat food!
