Why is GAMBAS Crevettes tropicales classified as NOVA 3 and what additives are present in the product?

NOVA 3 indicates the shrimp has been processed with added ingredients such as salt, acids and antioxidants; the listed additives are sodium sulfite (E223) as an antioxidant, acetic acid (E260) and lactic acid (E270) as acidifiers.

How does the salt content of this shrimp affect a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

With 1.8 g of salt per 100 g, the product contributes to daily sodium intake and should be consumed in moderation by people managing blood pressure, even though it is lower than many processed foods.

Is the sodium sulfite used as an antioxidant in this product a concern for people with sulfite sensitivity?

Yes, sodium sulfite can trigger allergic reactions in sulfite‑sensitive individuals, so those with a known sensitivity should avoid this shrimp.
