Scallop St. Jacques

by Beaver Street Fisheries

This frozen seafood dish contains quality scallops but is heavily processed with multiple seed oils, partially hydrogenated oils, and concerning preservatives like BHT. The combination of inflammatory oils and industrial additives significantly outweighs the nutritional benefits of the seafood.

  • Scallops – beneficial · High-quality lean protein and source of vitamin B12 and selenium
  • Pasteurized Milk – safe · Standard dairy ingredient providing protein and calcium
  • Soybean Oil – controversial · Highly processed omega-6 rich oil that promotes inflammation when consumed regularly
  • Wheat Flour – safe · Standard thickening agent, though refined and lacking fiber
  • Palm Oil – controversial · High in saturated fat and often environmentally problematic in sourcing
  • Corn Syrup Solids – controversial · Processed sugar that can contribute to blood sugar spikes
  • Sodium Caseinate – safe · Milk protein derivative used as emulsifier
  • Mono and Diglycerides – controversial · Emulsifiers that may disrupt gut bacteria and intestinal barrier function
  • BHT – dangerous · Synthetic antioxidant linked to cancer risk and hormone disruption in studies
  • Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil – dangerous · Contains trans fats which increase heart disease risk and inflammation
  • Sodium Benzoate – controversial · Preservative that can form benzene when combined with vitamin C
  • Artificial Butter Flavor – controversial · Synthetic flavoring that may contain diacetyl or similar compounds
  • Sodium Silicoaluminate – controversial · Anti-caking agent containing aluminum which may accumulate in tissues
  • Diced Celery – beneficial · Natural vegetable providing fiber and antioxidants
  • Cottonseed Oil – controversial · Highly processed omega-6 oil with potential pesticide residue concerns
