Aldi Sardines

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 6 ingredients to watch

Aldi Sardines scores 70/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Aldi Sardines lists 11 ingredients, starting with Sardines, Water, Mustard Flour, Acetic Acid and Modified Corn Starch. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 70/100 Aldi Sardines sits in our top band, among the better seafood we have scored. A higher-scoring option in seafood is Kirkland Signature Wild Caught Alaska Sockeye Salmon at 100/100.
