Seafood Sticks

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Sainsbury's Seafood Sticks scores 39/100 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.

Sainsbury's Seafood Sticks lists 9 ingredients, starting with Water, Surimi (Hake, Alaska Pollock, Sugar), Potato Starch, Sugar and Sour Cultured Wheat Starch. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 39/100 Sainsbury's Seafood Sticks scores worse than most seafood we have scored. A higher-scoring option in seafood is Kirkland Signature Wild Caught Alaska Sockeye Salmon at 100/100.
