Why is Smoked cod liver with beech wood classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product actually falls into the NOVA 3 category because its processing consists only of smoking and canning; no ultra-processing steps such as addition of flavor enhancers or extensive formulation are used. Its ingredient list includes only cod liver, the oil naturally released from the liver, and salt, so it contains no added preservatives, colorants, or other food additives.

How does the saturated fat and salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The high saturated-fat level (about 9.7 g per 100 g) can raise LDL cholesterol, which is a concern for heart-health-focused diets often recommended for people with diabetes, while the moderate salt amount (0.8 g per 100 g) contributes to daily sodium intake but is lower than many canned fish products; hypertensive individuals should still count this salt toward their total limit.

Is the cod liver in this product a concern for people with fish allergies?

Yes; cod liver is a fish ingredient and is listed as a fish allergen, so anyone with a fish allergy should avoid this product.
