Common questions
Is Starkist Sardine healthy?
Starkist Sardine scores 100/100 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.
What is in Starkist Sardine?
Starkist Sardine lists 3 ingredients, starting with Sardines, Water and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
Does Starkist Sardine contain seed oils?
No. Nothing in Starkist Sardine’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
