Product Insights
Capitaine Cook's sardines in extra-virgin olive oil with lemon zest are a canned fish product (PNNS group: Fish and seafood) providing a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids but also delivering a relatively high amount of salt (0.89 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (4.5 g per 100 g). The product carries a Nutri-Score of D and belongs to the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category, mainly because it includes added ingredients such as guar gum (E412) as a thickener, alcoholic vinegar and lemon zest. While it contains no added sugars and benefits from the healthful properties of extra-virgin olive oil, it is unsuitable for vegans and must be avoided by individuals with fish allergies.
