Why is Ravioli Jambon cru, Parmesan classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines several industrially processed components such as cured ham, refined wheat semolina, cheese and a preservative system, which places it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category; its label lists three additives: sodium nitrite (E250), potassium nitrate (E252) and sodium ascorbate (E301).

How does the salt content of this ravioli affect individuals with hypertension or those following a low‑sodium diet?

At 0.89 g of salt per 100 g (approximately 355 mg of sodium), the product contributes around 15 % of the daily recommended limit and can raise blood pressure, so hypertensive or low‑sodium consumers should limit their portion size.

Is this ravioli suitable for gluten‑free, vegan, or halal diets?

No, the ravioli contains wheat (gluten), dairy ingredients (cream, Parmesan, ricotta) and eggs, and the ham is pork, making it unsuitable for gluten‑free, vegan or halal dietary requirements.
