I do not bring a gift if requested not to bring a gift.
I would assume “bring a canned good” means in addition to the gift unless instructed otherwise, so I would bring both.
Same, although I will admit to being deeply confused about the canned good. Any context provided?
Right? Just bring a single can of food to a kid birthday party?
It's like a mini-food drive. They will likely donate the food to a local food bank.
But if asked not to bring a gift, I do not bring a gift. My kid makes a card.

Sometimes instead of gifts, people collect things for charity. Canned good for the food bank, books for kids in need. A teen girl I know collected menstrual products for her church because they give them out along with food and toys to needy families.

No no no gift! The only time I violate this is when I fail to read the invite closely.
We just hosted 26 kindergartens, siblings and neighbors for a November birthday. I do not need 20+ toys a month before Christmas. We told our 6yr old we were going to say “no gifts” and that in exchange we would buy him a Lego set. He received 3 gifts and a lot of drawings and handmade cards from kids. He was happy, we were happy.
When a kid does a food drive, book swap, pet supplies for the animal shelter, etc. we always do our best to participate- especially like the pet supplies thing where it’s part of the party theme.

For the birthday kid? That’s an odd choice.

No gifts if the host asks for no gifts. Don’t be a jerk.

No gifts = no gifts. Reading is fundamental.
If it only says “bring canned food”, then I’d bring canned food and a small gift. I think they meant to imply no gifts, but it doesn’t say that. Get a book.

Gift yes, canned good no. If they want to donate food, they can spend the money.
