Why is Cacahuètes grillées & salées classified as NOVA 3 and does it contain any additives?

It is placed in NOVA group 3 because the peanuts are roasted, coated with sunflower oil and salted – a level of processing that goes beyond minimal preparation but does not involve industrial formulation; the label reports zero additives, so the product contains only peanuts, oil and salt.

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

With 0.8 g of salt per 100 g, the snack provides far less sodium than the daily recommended maximum (about 5 g), making it a relatively low‑salt option for people managing hypertension or following a low‑sodium plan.

Is the peanut ingredient in this product a concern for people with nut allergies?

Yes; the product’s primary ingredient is peanuts, a major allergen, and the label also notes possible traces of other tree nuts, so it should be avoided by anyone with a peanut or broader nut allergy.
