Why is Blanc de Poulet classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product undergoes multiple industrial steps such as salting, reconstitution, and oven‑browning, which place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category; it contains the gelling agent carrageenan (E407), the antioxidant sodium ascorbate (E301) and the preservative sodium nitrite (E250).

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

With only 0.5 g of sugar per 100 g, the product has minimal impact on blood glucose, making it suitable for diabetics, but the 1.3 g of salt per 100 g is moderate and can contribute to elevated blood pressure, so hypertensive individuals should consume it in limited portions.

Is the presence of soy and milk traces in this product a concern for people with common food allergies?

Yes; soy and milk are among the top eight food allergens, and the label indicates possible traces of both, so anyone allergic to these ingredients should avoid this chicken slice.
