Why is Riz cuisiné Tomate et huile d'olive classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what additives does it contain?

The rice is pre‑cooked and steamed, tomato puree is heated, and a flavored cheese (mascarpone) is added, all of which involve multiple industrial steps that place the product in NOVA 4. The only listed additive is a natural flavor; there are no artificial flavors, preservatives or colorings.

How does the salt level of 0.66 g per 100 g affect a diet for hypertension?

At 0.66 g per 100 g the salt content is moderate and lower than many processed foods, so it can fit into a reduced‑sodium diet, but it still contributes to daily sodium intake and should be balanced with other low‑salt foods.

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

Yes, mascarpone is a dairy cheese that contains milk proteins and lactose, so the product is not safe for individuals with milk allergy or significant lactose intolerance.
