Why does this kimchi have a Nutri‑Score of C and which nutrients are responsible for that rating?

The Nutri‑Score C results mainly from the high salt content (1.9 g/100 g), which adds nine negative points, while low fat, low saturated fat and low sugars contribute few positive points, leading to a modest overall score.

How does the relatively high salt content in this kimchi affect individuals with hypertension or a low‑sodium diet?

A serving providing 1.9 g of salt accounts for about 33 % of the recommended daily limit, so regular consumption can raise blood pressure and may be unsuitable for people who need to restrict sodium.

Is the soy present in the tamari sauce a concern for people with soy allergies, and how is it indicated on the label?

Yes, tamari contains soybeans, which are a known allergen; the product lists soy as an allergen in the ingredients and includes it in the allergen information, allowing allergic consumers to avoid it.
