Summary

The Atlantic Cod Filet is a processed product due to the addition of sodium tripolyphosphates, which are used as preservatives to retain moisture. While cod itself is a high-quality source of lean protein and essential nutrients, the presence of synthetic additives like phosphates can increase sodium content and pose health concerns, particularly for kidney health. This processing level and the use of additives limit the score despite the nutritional benefits of the cod.
