In moderation. Scotch Egg has 15.0g of carbs per 100g — low enough for a low-carb diet, but a large portion could use up much of a strict keto day's allowance.

Yes, reasonably so. Scotch Egg is low in sugar. A typical 113g serving is 294 kcal — portion size is what usually decides whether a snack like this fits a healthy diet.
Sugar, salt and overall balance

Portion control helps more than anything — some snackers keep a set of digital kitchen scales to hand for exactly that reason.
