Why is 24 blinis cocktail classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from refined wheat flour, raised with leavening agents and includes several food‑industry additives that are typical of ultra‑processed products. The label lists E341 (calcium phosphate), E500ii (sodium bicarbonate), E270 (lactic acid), E300 (ascorbic acid/Vitamin C), E330 (citric acid), E1505 (sulfited wood stain), E420 (sorbitan monostearate) and E202 (potassium sorbate) as preservatives, acidity regulators, emulsifiers or stabilisers.

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

With only 1 g of sugar per 100 g, the blinis have a very low impact on blood‑glucose levels, making them acceptable in moderation for people with diabetes. The salt level is 0.6 g per 100 g, which is moderate for a snack and can contribute to daily sodium intake, so hypertensive individuals should monitor portion size and balance it with lower‑salt foods.

Is this product suitable for a gluten‑free diet?

No. The ingredient list includes wheat flour and wheat fiber, both of which contain gluten, and the product is flagged for gluten allergens, making it unsuitable for anyone following a gluten‑free regimen.
