How does the salt content in this product affect a hypertensive diet?

With 1 g of salt per 100 g, the product provides less sodium than the average canned meat (3.21 g per 100 g), but the amount can still contribute to daily sodium intake and should be limited by people monitoring blood pressure.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free diets?

It is not vegan because it contains chicken meat, but it is compatible with a keto diet due to its very low carbohydrate content. The product contains no gluten‑containing grains, making it gluten‑free, while halal suitability depends on the source and processing of the sodium phosphate and the certification of the chicken used.
