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

It is labelled NOVA 4 because the chicken is cooked, sliced and combined with several non‑natural ingredients; the formulation includes sodium ascorbate (E301) as an antioxidant, caramel colour (E150a), corn dextrose, vegetable concentrates (beetroot, chard, carrot, celery), and fermenting agents, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

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

At 1.8 g of salt per 100 g, the product supplies roughly 30 % of the WHO’s recommended maximum daily salt intake, which can raise blood pressure; people with hypertension should limit consumption or choose lower‑salt alternatives.

Is Blanc de Poulet – Halal suitable for a gluten‑free or vegan diet?

The product is certified gluten‑free, but it contains 95 % chicken fillet and other animal‑derived ingredients, so it is not suitable for a vegan diet; it is appropriate for halal consumers.
