Why is Ravioli Tofu et Basilic classified as a moderately processed product (NOVA 3) and what processing aids does it contain?

NOVA 3 indicates the product has undergone processing steps such as refining wheat semolina, cooking the filling and adding stabilising agents; the formulation lists calcium sulfate, calcium chloride and nigari, which are used as coagulants and texturising aids, even though no artificial additives are declared.

How does the 0.75 g of salt per 100 g portion affect a low‑sodium or hypertensive diet?

At 0.75 g per 100 g the salt content is well below the average for similar meals and contributes about 300 mg of sodium per serving, which can fit within daily limits for most people but should still be considered in a sodium‑restricted diet.

Are the soy ingredient and the trace amounts of fish and crustaceans a problem for common food allergies?

Soy is a major allergen listed in the ingredient list, and the label also warns of possible traces of egg, crustaceans and fish, so individuals allergic to any of these should avoid this product.
