Why is Lentilles preparees 1/2 classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The dish is canned and includes added salt, flavorings and a firming agent, calcium chloride (E509), which are characteristic of highly processed foods, leading to its NOVA 4 classification.

How does the salt content of this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 0.76 g of salt per 100 g, the product contributes a moderate amount of sodium; while lower than many canned meals, portion control is still important for people managing blood pressure or diabetes.

Is this product suitable for a vegan, gluten‑free, or soy‑free diet?

All listed ingredients are plant‑based, making it vegan, but the label warns of possible gluten and soy traces, so it cannot be guaranteed gluten‑free or soy‑free.
