Common questions
Is tofu healthy?
tofu scores 93/100 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 tofu?
tofu lists 4 ingredients, starting with Organic Soybeans, Nigari Flakes, Filtered Water and Boiling Water. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
Does tofu contain seed oils?
No. Nothing in tofu’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
How processed is tofu?
tofu is NOVA group 1: unprocessed or minimally processed. NOVA runs 1 to 4, where 1 is whole food and 4 is ultra-processed.
How does tofu compare to other tofu & tempeh?
At 93/100 tofu sits in our top band, among the better tofu & tempeh we have scored.
Is tofu organic?
tofu is not certified organic in our data.
Has tofu been lab tested?
Not yet. No independent lab has published results for tofu, so its score is based on its ingredient list, processing and packaging alone.
