Why is Colin d'Alaska, sauce citron & son riz classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The meal is labeled NOVA 4 because it includes several industrial ingredients such as modified corn starch, guar gum (E412), xanthan gum (E415) and a generic additive group E14xx, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

How does the sugar and salt content of this meal affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 0.9 g of sugar per 100 g, the product is low‑sugar and suitable for diabetes, but it provides 0.8 g of salt per 100 g (about 320 mg of sodium), which can add up quickly and should be limited in a hypertension‑friendly diet.

Is the Alaska pollock in this product a concern for people with fish allergies or sustainability considerations?

Yes, the pollock is a declared fish allergen, so it must be avoided by anyone with a fish allergy. However, the fish is sourced from MSC‑certified sustainable fisheries, addressing environmental concerns.
