Why Does This Score Processed?
In our analysis, Sardines scores Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Natural Flavors (Smoke Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Canned Fish & Seafood, this product is more processed than about 52% 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.
