Why is Champignons de Paris classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is placed in NOVA group 3 because it undergoes processing steps such as cleaning, slicing, and canning, but no major formulation changes; the only listed additive is citric acid (E330), used as an acidity regulator.

How does the salt content in this canned mushroom affect a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

At 0.58 g of salt per 100 g, the product contributes moderate sodium; consuming it in large portions could add noticeable salt to the diet, so people monitoring blood pressure should limit intake or rinse the mushrooms before use.
