Why is Croc tofou classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Croc tofou is actually rated NOVA 3, not NOVA 4, because its formulation consists mainly of whole food ingredients; it contains no listed additives, only natural coagulation agents such as calcium sulfate and nigari, which are not counted as additives.

How does the sugar and salt content in Croc tofou affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 0.8 g of sugars per 100 g, the patty adds minimal carbohydrate load for diabetics, while its 1 g of salt is slightly below the average for similar products, making it a reasonable choice for blood‑pressure‑controlled diets when consumed in moderation.

Is the soy ingredient in Croc tofou a concern for people with soy allergy?

Yes; soy beans constitute the primary protein source and are listed as an allergen, so anyone with a soy allergy should avoid this product.
