Why is Pitted green olives classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The olives are treated with water, salt, acidity regulators (citric acid and lactic acid) and an antioxidant (ascorbic acid). These ingredients, together with the brining process, place the product in the NOVA 3 category for processed foods, but it does not contain the extensive additives that define ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) items.

How does the high salt content in these olives affect individuals following a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

With 4.5 g of salt per 100 g, the olives contribute a large portion of the recommended maximum daily sodium intake; regular consumption can raise blood pressure and may be unsuitable for people managing hypertension or those on a reduced‑sodium regimen.

Is the citric acid used as an acidity regulator a problem for people allergic to citrus fruits?

Citric acid (E330) is a purified compound derived from citrus or through fermentation; most citrus‑allergic individuals can tolerate it because the allergenic proteins are removed, making it generally safe for those with citrus allergies.
