Why does HECK 97% 6 SAUSAGES receive a Nutri‑Score of D and which nutrients lower its grade?

The D grade is driven primarily by the product’s saturated fat (6.2 g per 100 g) and salt (1.44 g per 100 g), which generate high negative points in the Nutri‑Score algorithm; the lack of fiber or fruit/veg content adds no positive points.

How does the saturated fat and salt content in this sausage impact a heart‑healthy or hypertension‑controlled diet?

The saturated fat contributes to elevated LDL cholesterol, while the salt amount approaches half of the recommended daily maximum, so regular consumption may increase cardiovascular risk for people managing heart disease or high blood pressure.

Is the sulphite (E221) used as a preservative in this product a risk for individuals who are sensitive to sulfites?

Yes, the added sodium sulphite can trigger reactions ranging from mild respiratory symptoms to severe anaphylaxis in sulphite‑sensitive individuals, so they should avoid this sausage.
