Summary
This smoked salmon product contains beneficial ingredients like salmon, which is a high-quality source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. However, it is processed and includes additives such as sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate, which are used for preservation but have potential health risks due to their ability to form nitrosamines. The presence of added sugar also detracts from its nutritional profile, contributing to a moderate processing level and limiting its score.
