The product is breaded, contains added cheese, emulsifiers, preservatives and several food‑type additives; the label lists E301 (sodium ascorbate), E331 (sodium citrate), E407 (carrageenan) and an unspecified E14xx additive, all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods, thus placing it in NOVA group 4.

How does the sugar and salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 1.8 g of sugars and 0.92 g of salt per 100 g, the product contributes a moderate amount of sugar and a notable amount of sodium; for diabetics the sugar load is modest but still adds to daily carbohydrate intake, while for people with hypertension the salt level may raise blood pressure if consumed frequently.

Is the gluten in this product a concern for people with celiac disease?
