Why is Filets de maquereaux marines au citron bio classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is classified as ultra-processed because it undergoes canning, which involves adding water, lemon juice, vinegar and salt to the fresh mackerel fillets, creating a ready-to-eat item; however, the ingredient list shows no artificial additives or preservatives, with a total additive count of zero.

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

With only 0.8 g of sugar per 100 g, the product has a negligible impact on blood glucose, making it suitable for diabetes management, but its 0.9 g of salt represents moderate sodium and should be limited for people with hypertension or on a low-salt diet.

Is the mackerel in this product a concern for sustainability?

Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) is generally considered a sustainably harvested species with relatively low environmental impact, so the fish used in this product is not a major sustainability concern when sourced from well-managed fisheries.
