Why is Chips Craquante Sel Brets classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Although the product is actually assigned to NOVA group 3, its industrial preparation with refined sunflower oil, salt and a protective gas atmosphere qualifies it as highly processed, yet it contains no listed additives, making its ingredient list limited to potatoes, sunflower oil and Guerande salt.

How does the sugar/salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The very low sugar (about 0.5 g per 100 g) makes it safe for diabetic consumers, but the moderate salt level (about 0.6 g per 100 g) can raise blood pressure, so people with hypertension should limit portion size.

Is the sunflower oil in this product a concern for sustainability?

Sunflower oil is generally regarded as a sustainable alternative to palm oil because it has a lower deforestation risk, and since the product is palm-oil-free, its use of sunflower oil does not raise major sustainability concerns.
