Why is Royal shrimp classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The shrimp is cooked, peeled and packaged with preservatives, which places it in NOVA group 3; it contains the preservative sodium metabisulphite (E202), the antioxidant sulfite (E223), and the acidity regulator citric acid (E330).

How does the salt content in Royal shrimp affect a hypertensive diet?

With 1.7 g of salt per 100 g, the product contributes a moderate amount of sodium, so it can be included in a low‑salt plan if portion sizes are controlled, but people with high blood pressure should track their total daily salt intake.

Is the sulfite (E223) used in this product a concern for individuals with sulfite sensitivity?

Yes; E223 is a sulfite antioxidant and is listed among the allergens, so anyone who reacts to sulfites should avoid this shrimp.

Product Insights

Royal shrimp is a ready‑to‑eat cooked shrimp sold in 150 g plastic trays and belongs to the Fish and seafood PNNS group. It carries a Nutri‑Score of B, falls in NOVA group 3, and offers low fat (1.1 g), zero sugars and high protein (18 g) per 100 g, but it contains relatively high salt (1.7 g) and three additives (E202, E223, E330) including sulfites. While labeled free from antibiotics, colourings and sulfites, the presence of a sulfite preservative and the crustacean allergen makes it unsuitable for people with relevant sensitivities.
