What You Should Know

Del Monte Fresh Cut Sliced Carrots (14.5 oz) sits solidly in the canned vegetables aisle, shelved with other canned veg, broths and ready-to-use sides where busy cooks scan for pantry basics. A legacy brand with broad supermarket visibility, Del Monte positions this product as a family-friendly, reliable pantry staple — marketed toward budget- and time-conscious households that still want a “natural” vegetable option. The label leans on health halos: "Non-GMO," "no preservatives," "enhanced with natural sea salt," and a Non-BPA can lining claim, while stopping short of organic certification. Visually the can promises convenience and simplicity rather than premium artisanal cues. In plain processing terms, these are peeled and sliced carrots packed in water, lightly salted and firmed with calcium chloride, then heat-processed and sealed for shelf stability. Sensory details emphasize a tender-crisp texture and the clean, slightly sweet carrot flavor with a mild saline finish; slices are uniform for quick use. The 14.5 oz metal can is a ritual-friendly pantry item — pop it out to add to soups, stews, casseroles, stir-fries, or to heat-and-serve as an easy side for weeknight dinners. Families may drain and toss into a quick honey-glazed skillet for kids or stir them straight into a pot of chili. Because the ingredient list is short, the product reads as closer to fresh than many processed foods, but the canning and added salt/firming agent mark it as a preserved convenience designed to bridge fresh produce and time-squeezed meal routines.

Processed Food

Why this score?

This is a processed (NOVA 3) canned vegetable: whole carrots with added water, sea salt and calcium chloride, preserved by commercial heat-processing and packaged for shelf stability. Ingredients are few and recognizable, but the canning and added salt/firming agent place it in the processed foods category rather than minimally processed.
