Why is Le supérieur sans couenne classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The ham undergoes curing, cooking and trimming processes that add preservatives, flavor enhancers and stabilisers such as sodium nitrite, phosphate salts and antioxidant agents, which place it in the ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) category.

How does the salt content in this ham affect a hypertensive diet?

With 1.9 g of salt per 100 g, the ham provides about 38 % of the recommended maximum daily intake of 5 g, which can contribute to increased blood pressure and should be limited in a hypertension‑friendly eating plan.

Is this product suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free diets?

The ham is made from pork, so it is not vegan or halal; however, it contains virtually no carbohydrates, making it compatible with a keto diet, and it does not list any gluten‑containing ingredients, so it can be considered gluten‑free.
