Sardines

These canned sardines are packed in tomato sauce with sunflower oil, green olives, preserved lemon, salt, cornichon and bay leaf, placing them in the fish and seafood family of the PNNS classification. The product delivers a high protein content of 19 g per 100 g, moderate total fat of 10 g (including 4 g saturated fat), low sugars at 0.5 g, and a modest salt level of 0.88 g, earning a Nutri‑Score of B and a NOVA 3 rating for processed (but not ultra‑processed) foods. While it offers a convenient source of omega‑3 fatty acids, the noticeable saturated fat and added salt mean it should be enjoyed in balance with other nutrient‑dense foods.
