Why is 2 Millefeuilles De Saumon Fumé classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is labelled NOVA 4 because it combines multiple processed dairy bases, smoked fish, processed breads and several functional ingredients such as emulsifiers, stabilisers and acidity regulators. It contains five listed additives: E300 (ascorbic acid), E330 (citric acid), E407 (carrageenan), E471 (mono‑ and diglycerides of fatty acids) and E481 (a flavouring agent).

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

With 3 g of sugars per 100 g, the product stays below the average sugar level for frozen meals, which is modest for a diabetic diet but still contributes to total carbohydrate intake and should be counted. The salt content is 1.1 g per 100 g, lower than the typical 3.6 g average, making it a relatively better option for hypertension, though overall sodium intake should still be monitored.

Is the smoked salmon in this product a concern for people with fish allergy?

Yes. Smoked salmon accounts for roughly 22 % of the ingredient list and is explicitly identified as a fish ingredient, so the product must be avoided by anyone who is allergic to fish.
