Why is L'assiette bleue classified as a moderately processed (NOVA 3) product and does it contain any additives?

The product is considered NOVA 3 because the fish is coated, breaded and fried, which involves industrial processing steps, but no artificial additives, preservatives, or flavor enhancers are listed; the ingredient list consists only of fish, organic wheat flour, sunflower oil, water, lemon powder, salt, parsley and yeast.

How do the sugar and salt levels in L'assiette bleue affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The 2.4 g of sugars per 100 g can raise blood glucose and should be counted in a diabetic meal plan, whereas the 0.6 g of salt is low and unlikely to exacerbate hypertension, making the product more suitable for blood‑pressure‑controlled diets.

Is the wheat flour in this product a concern for people with gluten intolerance?

Yes. The breaded coating contains wheat flour, which provides gluten, so the product is not safe for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Product Insights

L'assiette bleue is an organic, MSC‑certified breaded fish fillet composed of 72% northern limanda (sole) coated with wheat flour, sunflower oil, lemon powder, parsley and yeast. Per 100 g it provides 197 kcal, 8.1 g fat (higher than the average fish product), 1 g saturated fat, 2.4 g sugars (above typical fish), 0.6 g salt (well below the average), and 12 g protein, earning a Nutri‑Score of A and a NOVA group of 3. While it offers solid protein and low added sugars, the elevated fat and calories, plus the presence of fish and gluten allergens, may limit suitability for low‑fat or gluten‑free diets.
