Nutrition label accuracy

Hi not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I have recently wanted to change a source of protein. I used to take lean turkey but now I have decided to change to canned tuna for budget reasons. One brand of tuna’s nutrition label says per 100g drained there is 83 calories and 18g of protein while another can says 100g drained has 102 calories and 25g protein. I know these nutrition labels are allowed to be wrong by a certain margin. I want to make sure I am getting enough protein. The problem I have now is that what if the brand with 25g of protein per 100g is not accurate since they are allowed to be off by a certain margin. I don’t want to miscalculate my protein intake. Or do you guys think it’s something I shouldn’t worry about. I just don’t get why tuna would have such a big difference in protein.
