Why is Riz a la forestiere, poulet roti classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labeled NOVA 4 because the chicken is pre-treated with brine and roasted, the recipe includes processed components such as cream, natural flavouring, starches and oil, and the preparation involves industrial cooking steps; however, the product does not contain artificial preservatives, colourings or flavourings - only a natural flavouring is listed.

How does the salt content of this ready-meal affect a hypertensive or low-sodium diet?

With 0.96 g of salt per 100 g (about 384 mg sodium), a single 300 g portion supplies roughly 1.15 g of salt, which can be a significant contribution for people managing hypertension or following a low-sodium diet, so intake should be limited or balanced with other low-salt foods.

Is the cream in this product a concern for people with a dairy allergy?

Yes; the ingredient list includes cream and the allergen label specifies milk (en:milk), so the product is not safe for individuals who are allergic to dairy.
