Why is Chips saveur poulet rôti classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from refined sunflower oil, maltodextrin, yeast extract, added sugar, powdered onion and garlic, barley malt extract, natural flavourings, chicken powder, poultry fat and a colourant (paprika extract, E160c), all of which are typical ingredients of ultra‑processed foods.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this chip affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The chip’s sugar content is very low (0.5 g per 100 g), so it has minimal impact on blood glucose, but its salt level is relatively high (1.38 g per 100 g), which can contribute to elevated blood pressure and should be limited for people with hypertension.

Is the gluten from barley malt extract a concern for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity?

Yes, the product contains barley malt extract, which carries gluten and is listed as an allergen, making it unsuitable for anyone requiring a gluten‑free diet.
