Why is Riz cantonais micro-ondable classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines several industrially processed ingredients such as diced ham, soy sauce and a pre‑cooked omelette, and it includes functional additives like ascorbic acid (E300) for oxidation protection and guar gum (E412) as a thickener, which together place it in the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category.

How does the sugar and salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 0.6 g of sugar per 100 g, the dish is suitable for diabetes management, but its 0.94 g of salt (≈940 mg) per 100 g is relatively high and could raise blood pressure, so hypertensive individuals should limit portion size or choose lower‑salt alternatives.

Is the egg ingredient in this product a concern for people with egg allergy?

Yes, the product contains a whole‑egg omelette, and eggs are listed as a declared allergen, so anyone with an egg allergy should avoid this rice.
