Why is Gratin aux deux saumons classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product includes industrial ingredients such as wheat flour, corn starch, breadcrumb coating, maltodextrin, yeast extract and natural fish flavourings, which are typical of ultra-processed foods; although no listed additives appear on the label, these ingredients act as functional additives.

How does the sugar and salt content of this gratin affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 2.9 g of sugar per 100 g, the dish adds a modest carbohydrate portion that is below the average for similar meals, but the 0.87 g of salt still contributes to daily sodium intake and should be limited for people managing hypertension.

Is the wheat flour/gluten in this gratin a concern for people with gluten intolerance?

Yes, the recipe contains wheat flour and a breadcrumb layer that provide gluten, so it is not safe for individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
