Why is Galettes aux céréales et petits légumes classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The snack is rated NOVA 3, meaning it is processed rather than ultra‑processed; it contains no listed additives (additives_n = 0) and its processing stems from steps such as cooking the bulgur, drying egg whites and using refined starches, not from added preservatives or flavor enhancers.

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

At 0.66 g of salt per 100 g, the product contributes a moderate amount of sodium; regular consumption could add up to a significant portion of the recommended daily limit of 5 g, so people with high blood pressure should limit intake.

Based on its ingredients, is this product suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or other strict diets?

No; the formulation includes egg powder and wheat bulgur, which make it unsuitable for vegan and gluten‑free diets, and it also carries egg and gluten allergens, so it is not appropriate for those with related restrictions.
