Why is Galettes de Blé noir au sel de Guérande classified as a moderately processed food (NOVA 3) and which ingredients determine this rating?

The product uses refined buckwheat flour, water and added Guérande salt and is mixed and pre‑cooked before packaging; these processing steps place it in the NOVA‑3 category even though no additives are listed.

What impact does the 1.27 g of salt per 100 g in these galettes have on a hypertension‑prone diet?

A serving contributes a significant share of the recommended daily sodium limit, so people with high blood pressure should consume the galettes sparingly or choose lower‑salt alternatives.

Are these buckwheat galettes safe for people following a gluten‑free diet?

Buckwheat itself is gluten‑free, but the product notes possible gluten traces, meaning cross‑contamination cannot be excluded and it is not certified gluten‑free.
