Why is Vegetable pâté with mushrooms classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product includes refined sunflower oil, multiple starches, glucose syrup, dextrose, flavorings, and potassium iodate in the salt, all of which are characteristic of ultra‑processed foods and drive its NOVA 4 classification.

How does the sugar and salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 1.2 g of sugar per 100 g, the product is relatively low in sugar for a diabetic diet, but the 1.6 g of salt per 100 g reaches the high‑salt threshold and may exacerbate hypertension, so consumption should be limited for those monitoring blood pressure.

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

Yes, soy protein is listed among the ingredients and appears in the allergen information, so individuals allergic to soy should avoid this pâté.
