Why is PAD THAÏ Poulet – Nouilles, poulet et citronnelle classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labeled NOVA 4 because the chicken is cured and roasted, the sauce includes refined pasta, multiple flavorings, and a stabilizer; the only listed additive is guar gum (E412) used as a thickening agent.

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

With 2.3 g of sugar and 0.7 g of salt per 100 g, the sugar can cause modest blood‑glucose spikes for diabetics, while the salt contributes to sodium intake that may elevate blood pressure, so the product should be consumed sparingly by those managing diabetes or hypertension.

Is the egg powder in this product a concern for people with egg allergies?

Yes; the ingredient list includes egg powder, which contains egg protein and can trigger allergic reactions in individuals with egg allergy, so they should avoid this meal.
