Why is Poêlée à l'asiatique classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It combines many processed ingredients such as extracted fish sauce, sunflower oil, powdered garlic and xanthan gum (E415); the presence of these industrially extracted or added components places it in the ultra‑processed category.

How does the sugar and salt content of this vegetable stir‑fry affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 1.3 g of sugar per 100 g, it adds minimal glucose load, but its 0.7 g of salt (≈2.8 g sodium) contributes noticeably to daily sodium limits, so it should be consumed in moderation by people managing blood pressure.

Is Poêlée à l'asiatique suitable for strict vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

The product is not vegan because it contains fish‑derived Nuoc Mam, it is gluten‑free by formulation but may have trace gluten, and its carbohydrate content (3 g per 100 g) is relatively low but the fat level (2.4 g) and presence of soy make it only marginally compatible with a strict keto plan.
