Smoked salmon hidden fructose?

[michaeltruth]

Hey guys! I tried a new brand of smoked salmon and it says in the ingredients list: (“Smoked salmon 97% and salt “ ) so I assumed it was safe for HFI so I don’t understand how it also says that per 100g of smoked salmon there is 0.5g of carbohydrates of wich 0.5g is sugars.
That means a 200g serving of smoked salmon that is supposed to be smoked salmon and salt only has 1g of sugar.
Can someone explain to me how is this possible?

It depends on how the smoke flavor was derived. It's possible liquid smoke was used. Commercial brands of liquid smoke ingredients commonly include: Water, Natural smoke flavor, Molasses, Vinegar, Caramel

I've also found instructions for smoked salmon online that suggest brining the salmon in water and brown sugar before smoking.

Artificial smoke "flavour" always gives me a kicking if I eat more than a tiny amount.
I suspect the brining "salt" may have a little sugar added.
If eating a little, this will not be enough to cause a problem. However if pigging out on it and scoffing the whole 200g.. then that might be a different matter if combined with other sources of Fructose in one day.
