Why is Chips de sarrasin bretonnes classified as processed (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product falls in NOVA group 3 because it uses processed ingredients such as refined buckwheat flour and refined sunflower oil, but it does not list any additives; the only components are buckwheat flour, sunflower oil and Guerande sea salt.

How does the sugar and salt content in these buckwheat chips affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With only 0.7 g of sugar per 100 g, the chips have a minimal impact on blood glucose levels, making them suitable for diabetic diets, but the 1.2 g of salt per 100 g adds sodium and should be limited by people managing hypertension.

Is the trace of gluten in this product a concern for people with celiac disease?

Although the main ingredient, buckwheat flour, is naturally gluten-free, the product is reported to contain traces of gluten, so it may not be safe for strict gluten-free or celiac diets.
