Why is Choucroute au naturel classified as a processed product (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

NOVA 3 covers foods that have been industrially processed, such as through fermentation and the addition of salt, which applies to this sauerkraut; the ingredient list shows only white cabbage and sea salt, and the label explicitly states "no additives," confirming that no extra additives are present.

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

With 1.2 g of salt per 100 g, this product contributes a notable amount of sodium, about 30 % of the recommended daily limit, so individuals managing hypertension or following a low‑sodium plan should consume it in moderation and balance it with lower‑salt foods.

Is Choucroute au naturel suitable for a vegan diet and does it provide any notable nutrients for vegans?

All ingredients, white cabbage and sea salt, are plant‑based, making the product fully vegan; it also supplies modest protein (1.4 g), dietary fiber (2.1 g), and a small amount of vitamin C (approximately 8.8 mg per 100 g), which can help meet nutrient needs in a vegan diet.
