Why is Olives vertes dénoyautées classified in NOVA group 3 and what additives does it contain?

The olives are pitted, pasteurised and packed with added salt and a lactate acidifier, which places the product in NOVA group 3 – a processed food that is not homemade but does not contain multiple industrial additives. The only listed additive is E270 (lactic acid), used to maintain acidity and preserve texture.

How does the salt content in this product affect a hypertensive diet?

With 3.5 g of salt per 100 g, the olives provide a high sodium load that can raise blood pressure. People managing hypertension should consume them only in small portions and balance overall daily salt intake to stay within recommended limits.

Is this product suitable for vegan, keto, or low‑sodium diets?

The olives are fully plant‑based and contain no animal ingredients, making them suitable for vegans. Their very low carbohydrate (1 g) and high fat (15 g) profile fits a keto diet, but the high salt content makes them less appropriate for low‑sodium eating plans.
