Why is Crevettes nordiques classified as a processed seafood product (NOVA 3) and which additives are present?

The shrimp are pre‑cooked, peeled and packed with water, salt and an acidifier, which places them in NOVA group 3 for processed foods; the only listed additive is citric acid (E330) used to maintain freshness.

How does the salt content in Crevettes nordiques affect individuals with high blood pressure?

With 1.5 g of salt per 100 g, the product provides a moderate amount of sodium that can contribute to daily intake limits, so people watching their blood pressure should consume it in limited portions.

Are the northern shrimp in this product safe for people with shellfish allergies?

No; the main ingredient is Pandalus borealis, a crustacean, and the product is labeled as containing crustacean allergens, making it unsuitable for anyone with a shellfish allergy.
