Summary
This product contains Atlantic herring fillets, which are a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, contributing positively to its nutritional profile. However, the presence of rapeseed oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, and monosodium glutamate, a synthetic flavor enhancer, detracts from its overall healthiness. The product's processing level further limits its score, as it includes multiple additives and is not minimally processed.
