Why is Petites Gambas & tagliatelles au basilic classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is a pre‑cooked, packaged dish that includes multiple prepared components such as seasoned shrimp, tomato puree and basil‑infused oil, which places it in the NOVA 3 processed‑food category; the label confirms it contains zero additives – no preservatives, colorings, flavor enhancers or hydrogenated fats.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this meal affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The meal provides only 2.3 g of sugars per 100 g, which is low and has minimal impact on blood glucose, but its 0.8 g of salt per 100 g is moderate and can contribute to sodium intake, so people with hypertension should monitor portion sizes.

Is the shrimp in this product safe for people with shellfish allergies?

No; the shrimp (crustacean) ingredient is listed as an allergen, so anyone with a shellfish allergy should avoid this meal.
