Sardine à l'huile d'olive vierge extra

These canned sardines are packed in extra-virgin olive oil, offering a ready-to-eat source of fish protein. They belong to the fish group in the French nutrition guidelines, carry a Nutri-Score of B and are classified as NOVA 3, meaning they are moderately processed with no added sugars, high protein (23 g per 100 g) and a moderate amount of fat and salt. While the olive oil adds monounsaturated fats, the salt level is still moderate, so individuals watching sodium should consume it in moderation.
