Tuna pate

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Minerva Tuna pate scores 32/100 on Tallow — our avoid 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.

Minerva Tuna pate lists 17 ingredients, starting with Tuna, Rapeseed Oil, Water, Full Fat Soft Cheese and Pasteurised Free Range Egg Yolk. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 32/100 Minerva Tuna pate scores worse than most canned goods we have scored. A higher-scoring option in canned goods is Trader Joe's Organic Garbanzo Beans Made with Sea Salt at 98/100.
