Why is Pizza 450g - chevre lardons classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The pizza is labelled NOVA 4 because its formulation includes multiple industrial ingredients such as modified potato starch, added oils, preservatives and flavorings, as well as three additives: sodium nitrite (E250), sodium erythorbate (E316) and an unspecified additive from the E14xx group, all of which are typical of highly processed foods.

How might the salt level in this pizza affect someone following a low‑sodium or hypertensive diet?

With 1.2 g of salt per 100 g (about 480 mg per standard serving), the pizza contributes a moderate amount of sodium; it can fit into a low‑sodium plan only if consumption is limited and balanced with other low‑salt foods, but regular intake may exceed recommended daily limits for people with hypertension.

Is this pizza suitable for a gluten‑free or vegan diet?

No, the pizza is not gluten‑free because it contains wheat flour in the crust, and it is not vegan because it includes dairy cheeses (goat cheese and emmental) and pork lardons, both of which are animal‑derived ingredients.
