Why is Mini burger con spinaci classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labeled NOVA 4 because the formulation relies on multiple refined ingredients such as soy flour, wheat gluten, and added oils, and includes processing steps like rehydration and extrusion; the only listed additives are potassium chloride (E508) used as a flavor enhancer and potassium sorbate (E202) used as a preservative, plus a small amount of natural flavorings.

How does the fat and salt content in this product affect a heart‑healthy or hypertensive diet?

The moderate salt level (0.77 g per 100 g) is lower than many processed foods, which is positive for blood‑pressure control, but the high fat content (19 g per 100 g) increases total calorie intake and may raise saturated‑fat intake if consumed in large amounts, so it should be enjoyed in moderation within a balanced diet.

Is the soy protein in this burger a concern for people with soy allergy?

Yes, the patty contains both soy flour and soy protein isolate, which are recognized allergens; anyone with a soy allergy should avoid this product.
