Why is Filets de Cabillaud MSC classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The cod fillets are frozen after being portioned and packaged with no added preservatives, flavourings or stabilisers, so they fall into the NOVA 3 category for processed foods that involve simple preservation methods. Because the ingredient list includes only cod and a statement about the catching method, there are no additives present.

How does the sugar and salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 0.5 g of sugars and 0.25 g of salt per 100 g, the fillets are very low in both nutrients, making them suitable for most diabetic and hypertensive meal plans when consumed in normal portions. The modest carbohydrate and sodium levels mean they add minimal impact on blood‑glucose spikes or blood‑pressure control.

Is the cod in this product a concern for people with fish allergies?

Yes. Cod (Gadus morhua) is a fish, and the product is clearly labelled with a fish allergen warning. Anyone with a known fish allergy should avoid these fillets.
