Summary

This salmon paste is ultra-processed, which limits its potential health score despite containing beneficial ingredients like salmon, tomato purée, and lemon juice. The inclusion of soya protein concentrate and added sugar detracts from its nutritional profile, as these ingredients are associated with lower protein quality and potential health concerns. The product's processing level and presence of refined ingredients contribute to a moderate score.
