Sweet Chilli Lime Salmon

Barcode 5057753917234

Yes — Sweet Chilli Lime Salmon is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

This salmon product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed additives and flavoring ingredients: yeast extract powder, which is a flavor enhancer; colour (paprika extract), an extracted colouring additive; lemon extract, an industrial extract used for flavor; and flavourings, which are added flavoring substances. These ingredients meet the criteria for ultra-processing. The other ingredients, including salmon, sugar, rapeseed oil, spices, herbs, lime oil, and sodium bicarbonate, do not independently determine the classification.
