Why is Filets De Maquereaux A L'huile Vegetale classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product actually falls into NOVA group 3, reflecting moderate processing that only adds vegetable oil and salt; no food additives are listed and the additive count is zero.

How does the high salt content in these mackerel fillets affect a hypertensive diet?

With 11.4 g of salt per 100 g, the product far exceeds typical daily sodium recommendations and can raise blood pressure, making it unsuitable for regular consumption by individuals with hypertension unless intake is limited or the product is rinsed before eating.

Is this mackerel fillet product suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten-free diets?

It is not vegan or vegetarian because it contains fish, but it is naturally gluten-free and fits a keto diet due to its high protein, low carbohydrate profile and moderate fat from vegetable oil.
