Why is CROQ'SOJA Curry et Pavot classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is rated NOVA 3 because it combines whole tofu with industrial coagulants and seasonings; its only additive is calcium sulfate (E516) used as a coagulating agent, together with nigari, sea salt, sunflower oil and yeast extract, all of which are natural and listed on the label.

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

With 1.1 g of salt per 100 g, the patty provides roughly half the salt of the average meat-alternative, so it can be included in a low-salt plan if total daily intake remains below recommended limits, but portion control is advised.

Is the soy in CROQ'SOJA Curry et Pavot a concern for people with soy allergies?

Yes, soy is the main ingredient (about 78.6% tofu) and is listed as an allergen, so anyone allergic to soy should avoid this product.
