Why is Batonnets saveur crabe classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 rating because it is a ready-to-eat product that contains several industrial ingredients, including the sweetener sorbitol (E420), the stabilisers diphosphates (E450) and triphosphates (E451), the flavour enhancer monosodium glutamate (E621) and the colourant paprika extract (E160c), along with added salt and refined starch.

How does the sugar and salt content in Batonnets saveur crabe affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 2.2 g of sugar per 100 g, the product adds more carbohydrate than typical surimi and raises blood glucose levels, so diabetics should limit portion size. The 1.8 g of salt per 100 g exceeds low-sodium recommendations for hypertension and raises blood pressure, making it unsuitable for strict low-salt diets.

Is the crustacean ingredient in Batonnets saveur crabe a concern for consumers with shellfish allergies?

Yes, the product lists crustaceans as an allergen and uses crab-flavouring derived from shellfish, so it is unsafe for anyone with a shellfish allergy.
