Why is Hot smoked Scottish salmon sweet chilli marinade classified as NOVA 3 and what specific additives does it contain?

It is placed in NOVA group 3 because the salmon is hot smoked and then coated with a sweet‑chilli glaze, which involves processing beyond simple preservation; the ingredient list shows only natural components, salmon, salt, honey, demerara sugar, dried peppers, parsley, paprika and cayenne, and no listed additives, so it contains zero additives.

How does the sugar and salt content in this product affect diabetic or hypertensive diets?

The product provides 3.4 g of sugars per 100 g, a modest amount that can add to carbohydrate totals for people managing diabetes, while its 1.25 g of salt is relatively low compared with many processed foods, making it less of a concern for hypertension but still requiring inclusion in the daily sodium budget.

Is the honey in this product a concern for people with specific allergies?

Honey is a known allergen for a small subset of consumers; individuals allergic to honey or bee products should avoid this salmon, and because the product also contains fish, it may trigger reactions in those with fish allergies.
