Why is Pizza royale classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines refined wheat flour, added sugars, preservatives and colourants, and undergoes multiple industrial steps, which places it in NOVA 4; it contains the preservative nitrite (E250) and the antioxidant sodium ascorbate (E301) among its additives.

How does the sugar and salt content in Pizza royale affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 3.1 g of sugars and 0.74 g of salt per 100 g, the pizza provides moderate amounts of both; diabetics should monitor portion size to keep carbohydrate intake in check, and people with hypertension should consider the salt contribution within their daily limit.

Is the pork shoulder in Pizza royale a concern for specific dietary restrictions?

The pork shoulder makes the pizza unsuitable for vegans, vegetarians and those avoiding pork for religious reasons such as halal or kosher diets, and the product also contains gluten from wheat and milk from cheese, which are common allergens.
