Why is the smoked herring fillet classified as a processed product (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

The fillet is smoked, cooked and sealed in a metal can, which places it in NOVA group 3 for processed foods; the ingredient list shows only herring, sunflower oil, black pepper and salt, with no added preservatives, colourings or flavor enhancers.

Is this smoked herring suitable for a ketogenic or low‑carbohydrate diet?

Yes, the product contains only 0.4 g carbohydrates and 0 g sugars per 100 g, while providing high fat (17 g) and protein (19 g, plus omega‑3), making it compatible with ketogenic and other low‑carb eating plans, though its moderate salt content should be considered.

Should people with fish allergies avoid this product, and what allergen information is provided?

The product’s primary ingredient is Atlantic herring, which is a recognized fish allergen; the label clearly marks "fish" as an allergen, so anyone with a fish allergy should avoid it.
