Why is Sel de Guérande classified as a minimally processed product (NOVA 2) and does it contain any additives?

Because it is a single‑ingredient product that undergoes only washing and drying, it falls into NOVA group 2 and contains no additives.

How does the high salt content of this sea salt affect people who need to limit sodium, such as those with hypertension?

The salt is 100 % sodium chloride, so even modest use can quickly exceed recommended daily sodium limits, making it unsuitable for low‑sodium or hypertensive diets without careful portion control.

Is Sel de Guérande suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, and halal diets?

Yes, the product is pure sea salt with no animal‑derived ingredients, gluten or other allergens, so it fits vegan, gluten‑free and generally halal dietary requirements.
