Why does this product have a Nutri‑Score of B and which nutrients influence this rating?

Nutri‑Score combines negative points from energy (863 kJ → 2 points), saturated fat (3.83 g → 3 points) and salt (0.8 g → 3 points) with positive points from protein (19.8 g → 7 points) and very low sugar (0.1 g → 0 points). The net score of 1 places it in the Nutri‑Score B category.

How does the salt content in this product affect a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

At 0.8 g of salt per 100 g, a whole 172 g tin provides about 1.4 g of salt, roughly 28 % of the WHO’s recommended maximum of 5 g per day, so it adds moderate sodium and should be counted toward daily limits, especially for hypertension management.

Is this canned sardine suitable for a keto or pescatarian diet?

Yes; with only 0.4 g of carbohydrates, high fat and protein, it fits the macronutrient profile of a keto diet, and because it is fish it aligns with pescatarian eating patterns, though it is not suitable for vegan diets.
