New data on nutrient composition in large selection of commercially available seafood products and its impact on micronutrient intake.

ABSTRACT: Most foods, including seafood, undergo some sort of processing as an integrated part of the global food industry. The degree of processing depends on the type of product produced. Processed seafood products are an important part of the diet; thus, knowledge of nutrient content in seafood products is of great importance. The aim of this study was to describe the content of selected nutrients in commercially available and market representative seafood products purchased from 3 different years. Seafood products from 2015 (n = 16), 2017 (n = 35), and 2018 (n = 35) were analyzed as composite samples for macro- and micronutrients using accredited methods at the Institute of Marine Research in Norway. This study confirms that seafood products are good sources of several key nutrients, such as eic
