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

The product combines processed chicken meat with multiple non‑natural ingredients such as vegetable concentrates, dextrose, fermenting agents, and two food additives: sodium ascorbate (E301) as an antioxidant and caramel colour (E150a). This blend of processed ingredients and additives meets the criteria for a NOVA 4 ultra‑processed food.

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

With 1.77 g of salt per 100 g, the product contributes a notable amount of sodium to the diet; regular consumption can raise daily sodium intake and may exacerbate high blood pressure, so portion sizes should be limited for people managing hypertension.

Is Blanc de Poulet - Halal suitable for gluten‑free, halal, keto, or vegan diets?

The slice is certified gluten‑free and halal, contains virtually no carbohydrates (0.5 g per 100 g) making it compatible with a keto approach, but it is derived from animal protein and therefore not suitable for a vegan diet.
