My cat ate lemon pepper tuna. Is it safe? What symptoms to watch?

Onion or garlic would be the main seasonings that I can think of that would be toxic in something like this, and I doubt there would be anywhere near enough present to cause a problem. If you can repost your question with a picture of the ingredients we can confirm that there is nothing else that would cause toxicity.
