Why is Mélange de champignons classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is a canned product that undergoes heat treatment and includes two additives: citric acid (E330) as an acidifier and ascorbic acid (E300) as an antioxidant, which are the only listed additives.

How does the salt content in this mushroom mix affect a hypertensive or sodium‑restricted diet?

With 0.78 g of salt per 100 g, the product exceeds the average salt level for canned vegetables and contributes noticeably to daily sodium intake, so it should be consumed in moderation by people monitoring their blood pressure.

Are the listed traces of celery, gluten, and milk relevant for consumers with those allergies?

The product itself does not contain those allergens, but traces may be present due to shared manufacturing equipment, so individuals highly sensitive to celery, gluten, or milk should consider the risk of cross‑contamination.
