Why is Galettes pois cassés classified as a moderately processed food (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The patty combines several industrially processed ingredients such as pre‑cooked split peas, oat bran, rice flour, and powdered egg white, which places it in NOVA group 3. The only listed additives are the leavening agents sodium carbonates (E500) and potassium tartrates (E336).

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

With only 2.8 g of sugar per 100 g, the patty has a low glycemic impact, making it relatively safe for diabetics when eaten in moderation. However, the 0.82 g of salt per 100 g contributes to sodium intake and may need to be limited for people managing hypertension.

Based on its ingredients, is this product suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or other restricted diets?

The patty is not vegan because it contains skimmed milk powder and powdered egg white. It also includes wheat starch, so it is not gluten‑free. It is suitable for vegetarians and those avoiding meat, and it meets organic and palm‑oil‑free standards.
