Why is Risotto champignons et parmesan classified as moderately processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is assigned to NOVA 3 because the ingredients are mainly whole foods that have undergone limited processing such as chopping, cooking and freezing; the label reports zero additives, so no synthetic preservatives, flavorings or colourants are present.

How does the salt content in this risotto affect a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

At 0.7 g of salt per 100 g, the product contributes about 12 % of the World Health Organization’s recommended maximum daily salt intake, so it can be included in moderation but may be too high for strict low‑sodium regimens.

Based on its ingredients, is this risotto suitable for a vegan or vegetarian diet?

The recipe contains whole‑cream and Parmesan cheese, both dairy products, therefore it is suitable for lacto‑vegetarians but not for vegans; it also contains sulfites from white wine, which some vegans avoid.
