Ingredients are whole pilchards, water, tomato juice, and salt, with no industrial additives, refined syrups, or ultra-processed components. This fits NOVA minimally processed/processed foods rather than ultra-processed foods.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
