Why is Chips a l'ancienne Nature classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The classification as ultra-processed stems from the industrial frying and the addition of oil and salt, which are typical of NOVA 4 foods, even though the ingredient list shows only potatoes, sunflower oil and salt and reports zero additives; no preservative, flavoring or emulsifier is declared.

How does the sugar and salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 0.5 g of sugar per 100 g the product has a minimal impact on blood glucose, making it relatively safe for people with diabetes, but the 1.1 g of salt per 100 g contributes a moderate amount of sodium and should be limited by those managing high blood pressure.

Is the sunflower oil in this product a concern for sustainability?

Sunflower oil is generally considered a more sustainable alternative to palm oil because it does not drive tropical deforestation; the product is palm-oil-free, so its use of sunflower oil is a relatively environmentally friendly choice, although the overall impact of oil production still involves land use and pesticide considerations.
