Why is Filet de Poulet - Fumé classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines chicken fillet with a broth made from water, chicken bones, rosemary‑infused rapeseed oil, vegetables, salts and concentrates, plus dextrose, ferments, an antioxidant (sodium ascorbate, E301) and a colourant (ordinary caramel, E150a). This blend of many processed ingredients and additives places it in the NOVA 4 category for ultra‑processed foods.

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

With 1.48 g of salt per 100 g, a typical 120 g serving provides about 1.8 g of salt, roughly 36 % of the recommended daily limit of 5 g. While the low sugar level is suitable for diabetes, the moderate salt level can be a concern for hypertension and should be balanced with lower‑salt meals throughout the day.

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

The label confirms the product is gluten‑free, making it safe for those avoiding gluten. It contains virtually no carbohydrates (0.5 g per 100 g), so it fits well within a ketogenic diet. However, it is made from chicken fillet and therefore is not vegan or vegetarian.
