Why is Tortilla aux oignons classified as a moderately processed food (NOVA group 3) and what additives does it contain?

The tortilla combines ingredients that have been cooked or processed, boiled potatoes, pasteurised eggs and grilled onions, placing it in NOVA group 3, which covers foods made from multiple processed components. The label lists zero additives, so no additional preservatives, colourings or flavourings are present.

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

At 0.95 g of salt per 100 g, the product contains less sodium than many ready‑made meals, but it still contributes to daily intake and should be balanced with low‑salt foods. The fat level (9 g per 100 g) is above the average for similar meals, so consumers watching saturated fat should consider portion size.

Is the egg content in this tortilla a concern for people with egg allergy?

Yes. The ingredient list shows 28 % pasteurised eggs, and the allergen declaration highlights egg, so anyone with an egg allergy should avoid this product.
