Why is this product classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labelled NOVA 4 because the formulation combines processed pork with several additives, including nitrite sodium (E250) and potassium nitrate (E252) used as preservatives, as well as lactose, salt, sugars and spice blends, which place it in the ultra-processed category.

How does the high salt content in this product impact a hypertensive or cardiovascular-risk diet?

With 4.3 g of salt per 100 g, the product exceeds the recommended daily intake of about 5 g; this high sodium level can raise blood pressure and increase cardiovascular risk, so it should be limited or avoided by people with hypertension.

Is the lactose present in this product a concern for people with milk allergy or lactose intolerance?

Yes, the product contains lactose, accounting for roughly a quarter of the formulation, and it is listed as a milk allergen, so individuals with a milk allergy should avoid it, and those with lactose intolerance may experience digestive symptoms.
