Why is the Brandade morue parmentier classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what additives does it contain?

It is placed in NOVA group 3 because it is a ready‑meal composed of several processed ingredients such as mashed potatoes, cream and butter, yet the formulation includes no added sugars, preservatives, colourants or artificial flavours; only the natural ingredients listed are present.

How does the salt content of this brandade affect a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

At 0.73 g of salt per 100 g, the product provides roughly 12 % of the recommended maximum daily intake of 5 g, so it contributes a moderate amount of sodium and should be eaten in moderation by people who need to limit salt.

Is the cod used in this product suitable for people with a fish allergy?

No. Cod is explicitly declared as an allergen in the ingredient list, and the product may also contain traces of other seafood such as crustaceans and molluscs, making it unsafe for anyone allergic to fish or shellfish.
