Why is Purée de pomme de terre à la tomate et à la mozzarella classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines multiple processed ingredients such as cheese, butter, cream and a stabiliser; it also includes the food additive carrageenan (E 407), which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

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

With only 1.3 g of sugars per 100 g, the puree is low‑sugar and thus acceptable for diabetic individuals, but its 0.57 g of salt per 100 g, although lower than the category average, can still contribute to sodium intake and should be moderated by those with hypertension.

Is the mozzarella in this product a concern for people with milk allergy?

Yes, the mozzarella contains milk, and the ingredient list also includes butter and cream, all of which are dairy allergens, so the product is not suitable for anyone allergic to milk.
