Why is Pizza au jambon emmental et mozzarella classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The pizza combines several processed components such as cooked pasta, cured ham, multiple cheeses, and a tomato sauce, and it uses food‑industry additives; the label lists E250 (sodium nitrite), E301 (sodium ascorbate), E407 (carrageenan) and E500 ii (sodium bicarbonate) as preservatives, antioxidants, thickeners and leavening agents.

How does the salt content of this pizza affect a hypertensive diet?

With 1.3 g of salt per 100 g, a typical 200 g serving provides about 2.6 g of salt, which is roughly half of the WHO’s daily limit of 5 g, so it contributes significantly to sodium intake and should be limited for people managing high blood pressure.

Is the wheat flour used in this pizza a concern for people with gluten intolerance?

Yes, the pizza contains wheat flour (34.7 % of the pasta), which provides gluten; individuals with celiac disease or non‑celiac gluten sensitivity should avoid this product.
