Why is Vegan Salami Classic classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

It is labelled NOVA 4 because its formulation relies on multiple industrial processes and includes added stabilisers and flavourings. The declared additives are E407a (processed algae), E461 (methylcellulose) and other thickening agents such as konjac and processed seaweed extracts.

How might the 2 g of salt per 100 g affect individuals who need to limit sodium, such as those with hypertension?

At 2 g of salt per 100 g, the product provides about 33 % of the recommended daily sodium limit, which can raise blood pressure in salt‑sensitive individuals and should be consumed sparingly by people with hypertension or those following low‑sodium diets.

Is this product suitable for strict vegan diets and does it contain common allergens like gluten, soy, or nuts?

All listed ingredients are plant‑derived, so the product is fully vegan. It does not contain gluten, soy, or nut ingredients, though it includes rapeseed oil and pea protein, which may be of concern for individuals with specific oil or legume sensitivities.
