Which nutrients keep this sardines in sunflower oil product at a Nutri‑Score B, and what changes could raise it to an A?

The high protein level (23 g/100 g) provides the maximum positive points, while low sugars add no negative points; however, the energy (946 kJ), saturated fat (3.2 g) and salt (0.63 g) generate negative points that limit the score to B. Reducing added oil to lower fat and saturated fat, and cutting back on added salt would improve the balance and could move the Nutri‑Score to an A.

How do the salt (0.63 g/100 g) and saturated fat (3.2 g/100 g) levels influence suitability for a low‑sodium or heart‑healthy diet?

The salt content is lower than the average for canned seafood but still contributes to daily sodium intake, so it should be consumed in moderation by those on a low‑sodium plan. The saturated fat amount is more than double the category average, which may be a concern for heart‑healthy diets that recommend limiting saturated fats.

Can individuals with a fish allergy safely consume this product?

No. The product’s main ingredient is sardines, a fish, and the allergen label explicitly lists fish, so anyone with a seafood or fish allergy should avoid it.

Product Insights

Sardines in sunflower oil (pack of three 125 g cans) is a ready‑to‑eat canned fish product from the Fish and seafood family. It delivers a high protein content of 23 g per 100 g, moderate fat at 15 g with 3.2 g saturated fat, very low sugars and carbohydrates, and a Nutri‑Score of B while being classified in NOVA group 3. However, the added sunflower oil raises the total fat and saturated fat, and the presence of added salt (0.63 g per 100 g) means it is not a low‑sodium option, though the steel can is recyclable.
