Summary

This product contains skipjack tuna, which is a high-quality protein source with beneficial omega-3 fatty acids and is typically lower in mercury. However, the presence of vegetable broth with soy, a common allergen, and the processed nature of the product limit its score. The ingredient list is relatively clean, but the processing level prevents it from achieving a higher rating.
