Why is Les Acras de morue classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labelled NOVA 4 because the recipe combines whole cod with refined wheat flour, eggs, oil and a leavening system, and it includes the additive sodium carbonate (E500) as part of a raising‑agent blend that also contains disphosphates; a small amount of piment paste adds vinegar and salt but is not listed as a separate additive.

How does the salt content of Les Acras de morue affect a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

Each 100 g serving provides 1.5 g of salt, which is about 25 % of the recommended maximum daily intake of 6 g, so regular consumption can contribute significantly to sodium intake and should be limited by people with hypertension or those following a low‑sodium diet.

Is the cod in Les Acras de morue a concern for individuals with fish allergies?

Yes; cod (Gadus spp.) is a primary ingredient and is declared as an allergen, so anyone allergic to fish should avoid this product.
