Why is Bol snacking 250 g poulet crudites classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The product combines cooked chicken that has been brined and roasted, a prepared Caesar dressing and multiple refined ingredients, all of which involve industrial processing steps and the addition of food‑type additives; it lists E261 (potassium nitrite), E326 (sodium lactate), E407a (alginate), E451i (sodium di‑hydrogen pyrophosphate), E301 (ascorbic acid), E415 (xanthan gum) and E202 (potassium sorbate) among its eight additives.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this chicken‑crudités bowl affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With only 1.8 g of sugars per 100 g, the product has a low impact on blood‑glucose spikes, making it relatively suitable for diabetic diets, but it still contains 0.56 g of salt per 100 g, which contributes to daily sodium intake and should be limited by those managing high blood pressure.

Is this product suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

No, the bowl is not vegan because the Caesar dressing includes cream, cheese and milk; it is not gluten‑free as traces of gluten are declared; and while its total carbohydrate content (4.4 g per 100 g) is modest, the presence of dairy and added sugars makes it a poor fit for strict keto regimens.
