What You Should Know

You'd spot this tin on a pantry shelf or in the specialty canned seafood section — an easy grab for a Mediterranean-style snack, bruschetta topping, or a rustic weekend toast. The vibe is artisanal and wholesome with a salty, oily texture and bright preserved-lemon tang; the short ingredient list and lack of industrial additives indicate a simply preserved canned product rather than an ultra-processed formulation.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Ingredients are whole foods (sardines, extra virgin olive oil, preserved lemon, sea salt) with no additives, but the canning process and added oil/salt mean it's a processed product rather than unprocessed or ultra-processed.
