Summary
This smoked salmon product is ultra-processed, which limits its score despite being a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. The presence of an artificial color additive, en:e161j, further impacts the score negatively, as such additives can be associated with hyperactivity and allergic reactions. While the salmon itself is beneficial, the processing level and use of artificial coloring reduce its overall health rating.
