Why is Nuggets de poulet classified as moderately processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

NOVA 3 indicates the product is made from relatively unmodified ingredients that have undergone some processing such as breading and frying; the label lists no additive numbers, and the ingredient list includes organic chicken, water, wheat‑based breadcrumbs (flour, yeast, salt), sunflower oil, potato starch, wheat flour, wheat starch, salt and pepper, so no separate additive substances are declared.

How does the salt content in these chicken nuggets affect a hypertensive or sodium‑restricted diet?

With 1 g of salt per 100 g, the nuggets contribute about 20 % of the WHO daily limit of 5 g, so they can fit occasional meals but should be limited for people managing high blood pressure or following a low‑sodium plan.

Is the wheat (gluten) in the breadcrumbs a concern for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance?

Yes; the breadcrumbs contain wheat flour and wheat starch, which provide gluten, and the product is labelled with a gluten allergen warning, making it unsuitable for anyone requiring a gluten‑free diet.
