Why is Bâtonnets soja & blé classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The sticks are made from several refined ingredients such as concentrated soy protein, wheat flour, and high‑oleic sunflower oil, and they include a food‑grade thickener, methylcellulose (E461), which classifies the product as ultra‑processed under the NOVA system.

How does the 1.4 g of salt per 100 g in this snack impact a diet for someone with hypertension?

A serving provides about 14 % of the WHO’s recommended maximum daily salt intake of 5 g, so regular consumption could contribute significantly to sodium limits and should be moderated in a hypertensive diet.

Is the soy protein in these sticks safe for individuals with soy allergy?

No; soy protein makes up 15 % of the formulation and is listed as a major allergen, so people with soy allergy should avoid the product.
