Why is Pâté de Campagne classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additive does it contain?

The pâté is made from multiple processed ingredients such as cooked pork meat, pork liver, pork gelatin and a refined wheat flour, and it includes the food additive E428 (a stabiliser/phosphate), which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 group.

How does the saturated‑fat and salt content of this pâté affect cardiovascular health for adults?

With 9.3 g of saturated fat and 1.5 g of salt per 100 g, the pâté contributes a notable amount of saturated fatty acids that can raise LDL cholesterol, while its salt level is moderate; regular consumption may therefore increase cardiovascular risk if not balanced with a low‑fat, low‑salt diet.

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

Yes, the pâté contains wheat flour, which provides gluten and is highlighted in the allergen list; anyone with gluten intolerance or celiac disease should avoid this product.
