Which nutrients cause the smoked herring fillets to receive a Nutri-Score of E?

The very high salt content, together with elevated total fat and saturated fat, generate the maximum negative points in the Nutri-Score algorithm, resulting in an E grade.

How does the high salt content of these smoked herring fillets affect a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

At 24.6 g of salt per 100 g, the product far exceeds recommended daily limits, which can raise blood pressure and increase cardiovascular risk for people on sodium‑restricted or hypertensive diets.

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

Yes, herring is a fish protein and is listed as an allergen, so the product is unsafe for anyone with a diagnosed fish allergy.
