Why does Spanish Potato Tortilla Omelette receive a Nutri‑Score of C, and which nutrients influence this rating?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm assigns negative points for its energy (145 kcal → 1 point), saturated fat (1.2 g → 1 point) and salt (0.8 g → 3 points) while granting modest positive points for protein (5.2 g → 2 points) and fibre (1.8 g → 0 points); the resulting balance places the product in the middle‑range C grade.

How does the salt content of this tortilla affect a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

At 0.8 g of salt per 100 g, the product supplies about 13 % of the WHO recommended maximum daily intake of 5 g, so it can be eaten in moderation but may be too salty for strict low‑sodium regimens.

Is the presence of free‑range egg a concern for consumers with egg allergy, and are there any other allergens?

Yes, the tortilla contains free‑range egg, which is a known egg allergen, and the only other listed ingredient is salt; no additional common allergens are present.
