Summary

The Swai Skinless Fillets are minimally processed, consisting primarily of the fish itself with water and salt. However, the inclusion of sodium tripolyphosphate as a moisture-retaining agent introduces a concern due to its potential to increase sodium content and its association with health issues when overused. Despite this, the product remains largely unprocessed and free from artificial additives, contributing to a relatively high score.
