Why is 2 coquilles aux noix de Saint Jacques classified as NOVA 3 and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is placed in NOVA group 3 because it is a processed food that includes cooked scallops, cream, butter and other refined ingredients, but it does not contain any listed food additives; the additives count is zero, meaning no added preservatives, colorings or flavor enhancers are declared.

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

With only 2.2 g of sugar per 100 g, the product is relatively low‑sugar and does not cause a large blood‑glucose spike, while the 0.7 g of salt represents a moderate amount that should be counted within daily sodium limits; people with diabetes can enjoy it in moderation, but those on a strict low‑sodium regimen should limit portion size.

Is the scallop (mollusc) ingredient a concern for people with shellfish allergies?

Yes, the product lists French scallops (molluscs) as a main ingredient (40 %) and also includes fish, gluten (wheat flour), milk (cream and butter) and sulfites, so anyone allergic to shellfish, fish, wheat or dairy should avoid it.
