Why is Chips à l'ancienne saveur moutarde classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The snack is made from sliced potatoes that are fried in sunflower oil, then coated with a mustard‑based seasoning that includes flavorings derived from wheat and milk as well as sodium diacetate (E262) as an acidity regulator; the combination of refined oil, multiple flavor extracts and a synthetic additive places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the salt content in this product affect a hypertensive diet?

With 1.2 g of salt per 100 g, the chips provide less sodium than the average salty snack (3.07 g per 100 g), but the amount still contributes to daily sodium intake and should be consumed in moderation by people monitoring blood pressure.

Is this product suitable for a vegan diet despite containing wheat and milk‑derived flavorings?

No. Although the main ingredient, potatoes, is plant‑based, the seasoning includes wheat‑derived aroma compounds and milk flavoring, both animal‑derived, so the chips are not vegan and may also trigger allergies to gluten and milk.
