365 Everyday Value Organic Diced Tomatoes — MUNCH
Munch or Dump rates 365 Everyday Value Organic Diced Tomatoes by 365 by Whole Foods Market MUNCH — score 88/90.
Organic tomatoes in their own juice, with two standard canning helpers: calcium chloride to keep the dice firm and citric acid for safe acidity. Both are benign, not red flags. The added sea salt is the only reason to pause.
Why this verdict
- Whole organic tomatoes and tomato juice are the base
- Calcium chloride and citric acid are ordinary, harmless canning aids, not ultra-processing signals
- No added sugar, no thickeners, no artificial anything
- Sea salt adds sodium; a no-salt-added version exists if you want lower
- A genuine pantry staple you can build real meals around
