Why is Batonnets saveur crabe classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The sticks are made from processed fish meat that is reconstituted with water, starch, egg white, milk and oil, then flavored and coloured; this multi‑step manufacturing and the inclusion of added sugar, salt, natural flavourings (which list crustaceans, fish and molluscs) and the colourant E160c (paprika extract) place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the sugar and salt content in Batonnets saveur crabe affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

Each 100 g serving supplies 2.1 g of sugars, which can raise blood glucose and should be counted within a diabetic meal plan, while the 1.8 g of salt contributes significantly to daily sodium intake and may challenge blood‑pressure control for hypertensive individuals; moderation and pairing with low‑salt foods are recommended.

Is the natural flavouring in this product a concern for people allergic to crustaceans?

Yes. The natural flavouring is declared to contain crustacean extracts, so anyone with a crustacean allergy should avoid these crab‑flavored sticks, as the allergen is present despite the product also containing fish and mollusc allergens.
