Why is Sticks et bretzels d'Alsace classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is considered highly processed because it uses refined wheat flour, malt extract and added sunflower oil, and it includes the food additive E524 (sodium hydroxide) as an acidity regulator, which is common in processed snack foods.

How does the salt content in Sticks et bretzels d'Alsace affect a hypertensive diet?

With 2.8 g of salt per 100 g, the snack contributes a substantial portion of the daily recommended sodium limit, making it unsuitable for people who need to restrict salt to manage high blood pressure.

Is the wheat flour in Sticks et bretzels d'Alsace a concern for people with gluten intolerance?

Yes; wheat flour is the primary ingredient and contains gluten, so the product is not safe for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
