Why is Haché au cabillaud & colin d'alaska Au citron classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and does it contain any additives?

NOVA group 3 includes foods that have undergone industrial processes such as grinding, mixing, pre‑frying and the addition of ingredients like vegetable oils, starches and seasonings; this fish patty fits that description. The label reports zero additives, so the processing level, not the presence of additives, drives the NOVA 3 classification.

How does the salt level in this fish patty affect a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

The patty contains 0.92 g of salt per 100 g, which is well below the category average of 3.55 g and is considered low to moderate; therefore it can fit into a reduced‑sodium eating plan, although consumers should still watch portion sizes.

Is the powdered egg white in this product a problem for consumers with egg allergies?

Yes. Powdered egg white is derived from eggs and is listed as an allergen, so anyone with an egg allergy should avoid this product.
