Why is this smoked salmon classified as NOVA group 3 and what does that classification mean for its level of processing?

NOVA group 3 indicates that the product has undergone some processing such as smoking and salting but does not contain added sugars, fats, or extensive industrial formulations, so it is considered a moderately processed food rather than ultra‑processed.

How does the 3 g of salt per 100 g in this smoked salmon affect a diet for someone with hypertension?

A salt content of 3 g per 100 g is classified as high; consuming it regularly can contribute significantly to daily sodium intake, which may raise blood pressure, so people with hypertension should limit portion size and balance it with low‑salt foods.

Is the Atlantic salmon in this product a concern for people with fish allergies, and how is the allergen identified on the label?

Yes, Atlantic salmon is a fish allergen; the label flags fish as an allergen ("en:fish"), so anyone with a fish allergy should avoid this product.
