Why does Filets de Harengs Fumés receive a Nutri-Score of E, and which nutrients are responsible for this low rating?

The product earns a Nutri-Score of E because the scoring algorithm assigns many negative points for its high salt (4.2 g per 100 g), relatively high saturated fat (2 g per 100 g) and modest protein content (15 g per 100 g), while it receives few or no positive points for fiber, fruits/vegetables or low sugar, resulting in a low overall grade.

How does the salt content in these smoked herring fillets affect a hypertensive diet?

With 4.2 g of salt per 100 g, the fillets provide far more than the World Health Organization’s recommended maximum of 5 g of salt per day, so regular consumption can significantly raise daily sodium intake and may worsen blood pressure in hypertensive individuals.

Is the herring in this product a common allergen, and what precautions should fish‑allergic consumers take?

Herring is a fish, and fish is listed as a major allergen; people with fish allergies should avoid this product entirely and check that kitchen surfaces and utensils have not been cross‑contaminated with fish residues.
