Matjes Filets

Matjes Filets are cured herring fillets marketed under the Gut & Günstig brand and belong to the fish and seafood PNNS group, with MSC-certified sustainable sourcing. The product delivers 12.7 g of protein per 100 g but also contains 12.8 g of fat, 2.2 g of saturated fat, 2 g of sugars and 5 g of salt, resulting in a Nutri‑Score of E and a NOVA 4 classification that signals an ultra‑processed food. While it provides omega‑3 fatty acids from fatty fish, the inclusion of added dextrose and the additives sodium acetate (E262) and sodium lactate (E325) together with high salt make it less suitable for low‑salt or low‑sugar diets.
