Why is Bouchées soja et légumes classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is NOVA 4 because the formulation includes fried vegetable bites, added oils, thickeners and flavorings; the declared additives are methylcellulose (E461) used as a thickener and an unspecified natural flavoring (E14xx).

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

With 2 g of sugars and 1 g of salt per 100 g, the sugar level is relatively low and can fit modestly into a diabetic meal plan, but the moderate salt contributes to daily sodium intake and should be limited for people with hypertension.

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

Yes, the product contains 2.7 % soy protein and soy is listed among the allergens, so individuals with soy hypersensitivity should avoid it.
