Lightly Smoked Sardines In EVOO with Piri-Piri, 4.23 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find this tin tucked into the canned-fish aisle or a picnic-ready section, often grabbed for quick toast toppers, salads, or emergency pantry stock. The product gives a practical, slightly rustic vibe—healthy and savory with a spicy kick from piri‑piri—and the canning, olive oil packing, and added natural flavorings yield a firm, preserved texture. These attributes point to light-to-moderate processing (not a multi-ingredient ultra-processed formulation), consistent with a processed-food classification rather than NOVA 4.
