Health notes
Products with no additional ingredients are generally considered safe. The health implications are solely related to the inherent nutritional profile of the primary food item. Regulatory bodies like the FDA do not specifically evaluate 'no additional ingredients' as a category but oversee the safety of individual food items and any potential contaminants.
Allergen info
This depends entirely on the primary food item. If the primary food item is, for example, a type of fish, it would be considered a major allergen. If it is a plant-based item without any processing aids, it might not be a major allergen. Always check the primary ingredient for specific allergen information.
