Summary

This product contains high-quality wild Alaskan salmon, which is a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. However, it is processed with sodium nitrite, a preservative that can form potentially harmful nitrosamines. The use of natural hardwood smoke adds flavor without artificial additives, but the presence of sodium nitrite and the processing level limit its overall health score.
