Why is Riz cantonais IDS 1kg classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The meal combines several pre‑cooked and seasoned components, cooked basmati rice, smoked ham, fish sauce, pre‑fried onions and natural flavorings, each of which has undergone processing steps such as cooking, smoking, or extraction; although no listed E‑number additives appear, the product includes natural flavorings, salts and sugars that make it fall into the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category.

How does the sugar and salt content in Riz cantonais IDS 1kg affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 0.7 g of sugar per 100 g, the rice has a minimal impact on blood glucose and can fit into a diabetic meal plan when portion‑controlled, but its 0.54 g of salt (moderate level) contributes to daily sodium intake and may require caution for people managing hypertension.

Is the fish sauce in this product a concern for people with fish allergy?

Yes; the fish sauce component contains fish extracts, so the product is not safe for anyone allergic to fish and must be avoided by those individuals.
