Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Light Tuna Flakes in Vegetable Oil scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Canned Fish & Seafood, this product is more processed than about 99% of the 2,900 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
