Why is Chili végétal classified as a moderately processed product (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

The product is labeled NOVA 3 because its ingredients are mainly pre‑cooked beans, rehydrated pea protein, vegetables and oils, which undergo industrial processing steps such as hydration, heating and blending, but it does not include any additives; the additive count is zero.

How does the salt content in Chili végétal affect a hypertensive diet?

With 2.33 g of salt per 100 g, the chili is considered high in salt, so people managing hypertension should limit portion size or choose lower‑salt alternatives to stay within recommended daily sodium limits.

Is Chili végétal suitable for a vegan diet?

All listed ingredients are plant‑derived, making the chili technically vegan, although the label notes a "vegan‑status‑unknown" tag due to possible cross‑contamination in manufacturing.
