Why is this shrimp product classified as processed (NOVA 3) and which additives does it contain?

NOVA 3 indicates that the shrimp have undergone processing steps such as cooking, salting, and the addition of preservatives; the label lists two additives: sodium sulfite (E223) as an antioxidant and citric acid (E330) as an acidifier.

How does the salt and sulfite content affect people on low‑sodium or sulfite‑sensitive diets?

The product contributes 1.3 g of salt per 100 g, which is moderate but may add up quickly for a low‑sodium diet, and the sulfite preservative can trigger reactions in individuals with sulfite sensitivity, so those consumers should limit or avoid it.

Is the crustacean content a concern for people with shellfish allergies?

Yes, the shrimp are the primary ingredient (about 98.7 % of the product) and are a recognized allergen; anyone diagnosed with a shellfish allergy should treat this product as unsafe to consume.
