Why is Chips paysanne saveur poulet, moutarde et miel classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The snack is made from refined potatoes, blended vegetable oils, and a complex flavor base that includes processed chicken, mustard, honey and several powdered ingredients, which are typical characteristics of ultra-processed foods; the only listed additive is citric acid (E330), used as an acidifier.

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

With 2.9 g of sugars per 100 g, the chip is relatively low in sugar and therefore has a modest impact on blood glucose, making it a tolerable option for people with diabetes, but its 0.55 g of salt per 100 g can add to daily sodium intake and may be a concern for those managing hypertension, especially when consumed in larger quantities.

Is the mustard ingredient in this product a concern for people with mustard allergies?

Yes, mustard is identified as an allergen and appears both as mustard seed and Dijon mustard in the flavoring, so anyone with a mustard allergy should avoid this snack.
