Why is Base de poulet classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines roasted chicken, added sugars (maltodextrin and cane sugar), salt, chicken stock, modified corn starch, yeast extract, onion powder, garlic powder, turmeric and natural flavours, all of which are industrially processed ingredients, placing it in the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category.

How does the high sugar and salt content affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 16.7 g of sugar and 14.6 g of salt per 100 g, the base can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes for diabetics and exacerbate blood‑pressure levels for hypertensive individuals, so it should be used sparingly or avoided in those diets.

Is the roasted chicken in this product a concern for people with poultry allergies?

Yes, the primary protein source is roasted chicken; anyone with a known chicken or poultry allergy should avoid this broth base.
