Why is Anchois marines à l'ail classified as moderately processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additive does it contain?

The anchovy fillets are marinated in sunflower oil, vinegar and salt, which classifies the product in NOVA group 3, and the only listed additive is citric acid (E330) used as an acidifier.

Which nutrients are responsible for the product’s Nutri‑Score of D?

The high salt level of 2.1 g per 100 g generates the maximum 10 negative points, and saturated fat at 1.7 g adds further points, outweighing the low sugar and modest energy, resulting in a D Nutri‑Score.

Is the anchovy ingredient a concern for people with fish allergies or for marine sustainability?

Yes, anchovies are a fish allergen, so those with fish allergies should avoid the product, and while anchovies are generally abundant, responsible sourcing is important due to potential over‑fishing pressures.
