Breaded fish fingers
Summary
The product contains a high-quality protein source in cod, which is beneficial for its amino acid profile. However, the use of rapeseed oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, is a concern due to its potential inflammatory effects and high processing level. The breadcrumb coating adds to the processing level, which limits the overall healthiness of the product despite its decent nutritional profile.
