Why is Sauce Poivrons aubergines et parmesan classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product combines several industrially processed components such as fried eggplant, modified corn starch, added sugar and dairy emulsions, and it lists the additive code E14xx, which is a food colourant; the combination of these processed ingredients and the additive places it in the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category.

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

At 4.9 g of sugars and 1 g of salt per 100 g, the sauce contains less sugar and considerably less sodium than many comparable condiments, making it a moderate option for diabetics and those monitoring blood pressure, though it should still be used in controlled portions because it contributes carbohydrates and sodium to the overall diet.

Is the Parmesan cheese in this sauce a concern for people with milk allergy?

Yes, the sauce contains 6 % Parmesan cheese, which is derived from milk and is highlighted as an allergen; anyone with a milk allergy should avoid this product.
