Why is Risotto poulet & cèpes classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It falls into NOVA 4 because it undergoes several industrial processing steps and includes refined starches (tapioca and rice starch), added dextrose and salt; however the label reports no preservatives, colorings, palm oil or other synthetic additives, and the additive count is zero.

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

With 0.66 g of salt per 100 g, a 280 g portion provides about 1.8 g of salt, roughly 25 % of the recommended maximum daily intake of 6 g, so frequent consumption could raise blood pressure and should be limited for people managing hypertension.

Is the milk in the fresh cream a concern for people with dairy intolerance?

Yes; the product contains fresh cream and hard cheese, both derived from milk, so it is unsuitable for individuals with lactose intolerance or a milk allergy, and milk is listed as an allergen on the label.
