Why is Lasagne au saumon et aux épinards classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is placed in NOVA group 4 because its formulation relies on refined wheat flour, powdered milk, processed cheese, butter and a white sauce, all of which are industrially manufactured and combined with multiple steps of formulation, even though the label does not list any separate food additives.

How does the salt content in this lasagna affect a hypertensive diet?

With 1.6 g of salt per 100 g, the dish exceeds the recommended sodium limit for individuals monitoring blood pressure, and regular consumption can contribute to higher daily sodium intake, potentially worsening hypertension.

Is the salmon in this product a problem for people with fish allergies?

Yes. The lasagna contains salmon, a fish protein that triggers allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to fish, and the ingredient list also notes possible cross‑contamination with other seafood such as crustaceans and molluscs.
