Why is Les Tartinables (Thon Olives, Tomates Marinées et Poivrons) classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is classified as NOVA 4 because the ingredient list includes refined vegetable oils, a dairy component, egg yolk and several techno‑functional ingredients such as thickeners; the only listed additives are E412 (guar gum) and E415 (xanthan gum), both used to improve texture and stability.

How does the fat and salt content in this spread affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The high fat (14 g) and moderate saturated fat can increase overall calorie intake, which may challenge blood‑glucose control for diabetics, while the 1.3 g of salt per 100 g is relatively low compared with many processed spreads but still contributes to daily sodium limits, so individuals with hypertension should consume it only in limited portions.

Is the egg‑yolk ingredient a risk for people with egg allergy?

Yes, the product contains egg yolk, which is a recognized allergen; anyone with an egg allergy should avoid this spread, and the label also flags egg among the declared allergens.
