Why is Galettes riz complet & sésame classified as a processed (NOVA 3) product and does it contain any additives?

It is classified as NOVA 3 because the rice is mechanically puffed and the crackers are assembled from processed ingredients, which qualifies it as a processed food; however, the ingredient list shows no additives (additives_n = 0), so it contains only whole‑grain rice, sesame seeds and sea salt.

How does the low sugar and salt content of this cereal affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With just 0.9 g of sugar and 0.28 g of salt per 100 g, the product contributes minimally to blood‑glucose spikes and blood‑pressure elevation, making it suitable for diabetic or hypertensive diets when eaten in normal portion sizes, though the overall carbohydrate load from rice should still be considered.

Is the sesame seed present in these crackers a concern for people with sesame allergies, and how is the allergen indicated?

Yes, sesame seeds are listed as an ingredient and are flagged in the allergen information (en:sesame‑seeds); the product clearly labels the presence of sesame, so anyone with a sesame allergy should avoid it.
