Why is Chips Kettle Cooked Gaufrette Sel de Mer classified as NOVA 3 and does it contain any additives?

The product is rated NOVA 3 because it is heated and fried in oil, which makes it a processed food, but it lists only three simple ingredients, potatoes, sunflower oil and sea salt, and no additives, so it is considered moderately processed.

How does the salt content in these chips affect a hypertensive diet?

With 1.47 g of salt per 100 g, a standard serving provides about 30 % of the WHO's recommended maximum daily sodium intake, so frequent consumption can significantly raise total sodium intake and may worsen blood pressure for people with hypertension.

Are these chips suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

Yes, the recipe contains only potatoes, sunflower oil and sea salt, making the chips vegan and gluten‑free, and their low carbohydrate (about 52 g carbs per 100 g, most of which are starch) combined with high fat fits the macronutrient profile often used in keto plans, though the high fat should be considered.
