Why is Sauce kebab classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The sauce includes several industrial ingredients such as modified corn starch, xanthan gum (E415) as a thickener, lactic acid (E270) as an acidifier, and potassium sorbate (E202) as a preservative, along with flavorings and emulsifiers, which place it in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the salt and fat content in Sauce kebab affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 1.7 g of salt per 100 g, the sauce adds a moderate amount of sodium, which can raise blood pressure for hypertension sufferers, while the high fat level (30 g) contributes significant calories but low saturated fat; diabetics should note the modest sugar (6.5 g) but monitor total carbohydrate intake.

Is the egg yolk in Sauce kebab a concern for people with egg allergy?

Yes, the presence of egg yolk means the sauce is not safe for individuals allergic to eggs, and the product is labeled with the egg allergen to alert consumers.
