Why does Chakchouka receive a Nutri-Score of B despite its relatively high fat content?

The Nutri-Score algorithm balances negative points from energy, saturated fat, sugars and salt against positive points from protein, fiber and the high share of fruits, vegetables and legumes; low sugar, decent fiber and 44 % fruit/veg content offset the moderate fat, resulting in a B grade.

How might the fat and salt levels in this Chakchouka affect a person with high blood pressure?

The product contains 0.5 g of salt per 100 g, which is slightly below the category average, but its 5.7 g of total fat (including 1 g saturated) adds extra calories and can contribute to elevated blood‑lipid levels if consumed in large amounts, so portion control is advisable for hypertensive individuals.

Is the egg yolk in Chakchouka a concern for people with egg allergies or those following a vegan diet?

Yes, the formulation includes 5.5 % free-range egg yolk, making the stew unsuitable for vegans and unsafe for anyone allergic to egg, and the manufacturing environment also indicates possible cross-contamination with other allergens.
