Why is Le moelleux Bâtonnets de surimi saveur crabe classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is made from processed fish meat, rehydrated skimmed milk, wheat starch, added oil, sugar and salt, which are all characteristic of ultra‑processed foods, and it includes the colour additive E160c (paprika extract) as its only listed additive.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this surimi product affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

At 2.6 g of sugars per 100 g, the product provides more carbohydrate than the average surimi and can raise blood glucose, so diabetic individuals should monitor portion size; the 1.6 g of salt contributes to daily sodium intake but is lower than many comparable products, yet hypertensive consumers should still consume it in moderation.

Is the wheat starch used in this product a concern for people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease?

Yes, wheat starch contains gluten and is listed as an allergen, so the product is not suitable for gluten‑free or celiac diets.
