Why does Sardines with hot peppers in soy oil receive a Nutri‑Score of D?

The Nutri‑Score combines negative points for high salt (3.25 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (1.3 g per 100 g) with very few positive points because the product contains almost no fruit, vegetables or fiber; this balance yields 18 negative points and 0 positive points, resulting in a D grade.

How does the sodium content of this product affect a hypertensive or low‑salt diet?

With 3.25 g of salt per 100 g, the canned sardines contribute about 55 % of the recommended maximum daily sodium intake (5 g), so regular consumption could raise blood pressure and should be limited for people with hypertension or who are following a low‑salt diet.

Is the soy oil used in this sardine product a problem for people with soy allergies?

Yes, the ingredient list includes soy oil, which contains soy proteins that can trigger reactions in individuals allergic to soy, so those consumers should avoid this product.
