Why is Nacho chips salées classified as moderately processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The chips are made from processed corn flour, vegetable oil and seasoning, which places them in NOVA group 3; the label reports no listed additives, only a possible trace of soy from cross‑contamination.

With 0.69 g of salt per 100 g, the chips contribute roughly 12 % of the WHO’s recommended maximum of 5 g of salt per day, so they should be eaten sparingly by people managing high blood pressure.

Is the trace soy in Nacho chips salées a concern for consumers with soy allergy?
