Why does Pad Thai shrimp receive a Nutri-Score of C, and which nutrients are responsible for this rating?

The C rating is mainly driven by the relatively high salt content (1.7 g per 100 g) and modest protein level (4 g per 100 g), while sugar and saturated fat are low; these factors prevent a higher score despite the low sugar.

How might the 1.7 g of salt per 100 g in this product affect people with hypertension or on a low‑sodium diet?

At 1.7 g per 100 g, the product provides about 30% of the recommended maximum daily sodium intake in a typical serving, which can elevate blood pressure and should be limited by anyone needing to control sodium.

Is the shrimp in Pad Thai shrimp a concern for people with shellfish allergies, and how is it listed on the label?

Yes, shrimp is a major shellfish allergen and is clearly highlighted in the ingredient list and allergen information, so individuals with shellfish allergies should avoid this product.
