Yes, sterilized fish products are suitable for children and contribute to their proper and balanced diet. It is important for us to teach our children to have a varied diet and to consume fish because of its nutritious value.

Sterilized fish products are a good alternative to fresh fish – they are ready to be consumed directly or to be used as ingredients in a variety of dishes and salads, which we should include in our children’s menu.

The beneficial properties of fish are due mainly to the minerals it contains: phosphorus, sulphur, zinc, manganese, potassium, sodium, and omega 3 fatty acids.

Sterilized fish is a very good alternative to fresh fish because the process of sterilization does not change its nutritious properties. Fish is healthy food which:

- Is low in saturated fats;
- Is high in protein and omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 fatty acids contribute to reducing the risk of disturbed heart rhythm and blockage of the arteries, and have a beneficial effect by reducing the levels of harmful fats;
- Contributes to maintaining the immune defence and is an excellent source of easily absorbed iron thus reducing the risk of anaemias;
- Contains in its meat a large quantity of phosphorus which is vital to the brain and the bone system of man;
- Is high in iodine, copper and manganese, needed for the normal metabolism;
- Makes the organism healthy, energetic and agile, when delicious and varied dishes made with fish and seafood are included in the diet on a regular basis.
