Why is Chips à l'ancienne classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and which nutrients cause its Nutri‑Score to be D?

NOVA 3 indicates industrial processing such as frying and seasoning; the snack’s high fat content (37 g), moderate salt (1.3 g) and saturated fat (3.4 g) combined with low fiber and no fruit or vegetable content drive the Nutri‑Score down to D.

How does the fat and salt content of these old‑fashioned potato chips affect people with heart disease or high blood pressure?

The elevated fat, especially saturated fat, increases caloric intake and may raise blood lipid levels, while the moderate salt contributes to sodium load; regular consumption can aggravate cardiovascular risk, so these chips should be eaten only occasionally.

Are these chips suitable for a vegan or gluten‑free diet?

The ingredient list (potatoes, sunflower oil, salt) is vegan, but the product is labelled with possible traces of gluten, milk, mustard and celery, so it cannot be guaranteed gluten‑free and may affect those with those specific allergies.
