Why is Crevettes nordiques classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is deemed ultra‑processed because it is a harvested shrimp that undergoes cooking, peeling, and inclusion in a sealed metal can with added ingredients such as citric acid (E330) for acidity, carob bean gum (E410) and xanthan gum (E415) as thickeners; these processing steps and additives place it in the NOVA 4 category.

How does the salt content in this product affect a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

At 1.4 g of salt per 100 g, the product provides about 60 % of the recommended maximum daily salt intake, so regular consumption could exceed limits for people managing high blood pressure and they should limit its use or balance it with low‑salt foods.

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

Yes; the label lists crustaceans as an allergen, so anyone allergic to shrimp, prawns or other crustaceans should avoid this product.

Product Insights

Crevettes nordiques are canned, peeled shrimp from Denmark that belong to the fish and seafood group (PNNS groups: Fish Meat Eggs, Fish and seafood). With 22 g of protein, only 1.5 g of fat, zero sugars and carbohydrates, and 100 kcal per 100 g, it earns a Nutri‑Score of A, but its NOVA 4 rating reflects its status as an ultra‑processed canned product that includes the additives E330 (citric acid), E410 (carob bean gum) and E415 (xanthan gum). While it offers a lean source of protein, the moderate salt level of 1.4 g per 100 g and the presence of crustacean allergens may be problematic for sodium‑restricted or allergic consumers.
