Smoked salmon
Summary
The smoked salmon is a processed food with a relatively simple ingredient list, including farm-raised salmon, salt, sugar, and natural hardwood smoke. While the use of natural smoke is beneficial, the addition of sugar is unnecessary from a nutritional standpoint. The product's processing level and the presence of added sugar slightly reduce its overall healthiness score.
