Why is Saumon fumé d'Ecosse classified as a NOVA 3 product and how do its ingredients influence its Nutri‑Score D?

NOVA 3 denotes foods that have undergone processing such as salting and smoking; this salmon is salted and wood‑smoked, which adds sodium and preserves the fish without any additives. The high protein content is positive, but the added salt and moderate fat raise the Nutri‑Score to D.

How does the salt content of this smoked salmon affect people with hypertension or sodium‑restricted diets?

With about 3 g of salt per 100 g, a typical serving provides roughly 12 % of the recommended maximum daily sodium intake, so it can significantly contribute to blood‑pressure‑raising salt levels and should be consumed sparingly by those on low‑sodium diets.

Is the Atlantic salmon in this product safe for individuals with fish allergies?

Yes, the product lists fish (Atlantic salmon) as an allergen, so anyone with a fish allergy should avoid it completely.
