Why is Fish Selection classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 rating because the formulation mixes multiple processed ingredients such as pre‑cooked rice, cured fish, surimi, sauces and flavorings, and it includes the additives E100 (curcumin) for colour and E160d (lycopene) used as a colourant.

How do the sugar and salt levels in Fish Selection affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 3.4 g of sugars per 100 g, the product contributes modestly to daily sugar intake, but the 0.64 g of salt is low compared with many processed foods, making it a relatively better choice for blood‑pressure control while still requiring portion control for diabetes management.

Is the smoked salmon in Fish Selection a concern for people with fish allergies?

Yes; smoked salmon contains salmon, a fish protein, and the product is labelled with a fish allergen warning, so anyone with a fish allergy should avoid it.
