Why is this product classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The sticks are made from reconstituted fish meat combined with water, egg white, starches and several processed ingredients, and they include the food additive E160c (paprika extract) as a colorant and natural flavorings, which places them in the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar and salt content in these surimi sticks affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 2.3 g of sugar per 100 g, the product adds a modest carbohydrate load that can raise blood glucose, so diabetics should count it toward their daily sugar intake; however, its 1.5 g of salt per 100 g is well below the category average and is generally safe for most hypertensive individuals when consumed in moderation.

Is the crustacean flavoring in these surimi sticks a concern for people with shellfish allergies?

Yes, the product contains natural crustacean flavoring, which is listed as an allergen, making it unsuitable for anyone with a shellfish allergy, and crustaceans appear in the allergen information.
