Why is Le Supérieur -25% de Sel - Conservation sans Nitrite classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labeled NOVA 4 because the product contains several added ingredients beyond the meat itself, including natural flavours, potassium chloride (a salt replacer), a vinegar‑based preservative (E267), dextrose and vitamin C (E300) as an antioxidant, all of which result from industrial processing.

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

The ham’s sugar level is very low (0.5 g per 100 g), making it suitable for diabetic meal planning, but its salt content of 1.4 g per 100 g is still moderate; people managing hypertension should limit portion size to keep daily sodium intake within recommended limits.

Is the presence of celery in this ham a concern for people with a celery allergy?

Yes, the label notes possible traces of celery, so anyone with a celery allergy should avoid this product to prevent an allergic reaction.
