Why is Fresh Heart - Goat classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines refined ingredients such as starch, rapeseed oil, added cheese and a colour extract (E160c paprika) together with a natural flavour blend, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category; the only listed additive is the paprika colour (E160c).

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

With 2.6 g of sugar per 100 g, the snack has a low sugar load that is unlikely to spike blood glucose dramatically, but the 1.8 g of salt per 100 g contributes a substantial portion of the daily sodium limit and may worsen hypertension if consumed frequently.

Does the presence of crustacean allergens pose a risk for shellfish‑allergic consumers?

Yes, the ingredient list includes natural flavours that contain crustaceans, and the allergen label flags crustaceans, fish, milk, gluten and molluscs, so anyone with a shellfish allergy should avoid this product.
