Extra firm tofu
Product Insights
Extra firm tofu is a legume‑based protein source made primarily from soybeans, water and a calcium sulphate firming agent. It carries a Nutri‑Score of A and falls into the ultra‑processed NOVA group 4, reflecting the presence of the additive calcium sulphate (E516) and a processing step that classifies it as highly processed. Nutritionally it offers 14 g of protein, low sugar (0.1 g) and salt (0.04 g) per 100 g, while fat is moderate at 8.2 g and saturated fat 1.4 g, providing a balanced profile for a vegan protein item but with the caveat of being an ultra‑processed product.
