Why is Sardines in organic olive oil classified as a processed product (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

It is placed in NOVA group 3 because it is a canned fish that undergoes industrial processing such as cooking, deboning and packing in oil; the product contains only natural ingredients - sardines, extra-virgin olive oil and salt - and has zero listed additives, so no artificial preservatives or flavorings are present.

Is the fish content in this product a concern for people with seafood allergies?

Yes, sardines are a fish and are listed as an allergen; anyone with a fish or seafood allergy should avoid this product.

What is the best way to store opened cans of Sardines in organic olive oil to preserve quality and safety?

After opening, transfer the sardines and any remaining oil to a clean, airtight container, keep it refrigerated and consume within 2-3 days; do not keep the empty can at room temperature as the metal can affect flavor and safety.
