Why is 60 Surimi – format familial classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The sticks undergo multiple industrial steps such as washing, mincing, rehydrating egg white, adding starches, oils, sugars and salts, then shaping and freezing, which places them in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category; the only listed additive is the colourant E160c (paprika extract).

How do the sugar and salt levels in this surimi influence dietary choices for people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 3 g of sugars and 1.3 g of salt per 100 g, the product adds modest carbs but a relatively high sodium dose, so it can fit into a diabetic meal plan if portion‑controlled, but the salt content may be unsuitable for a low‑sodium or hypertensive diet without careful moderation.

Can people with egg or gluten allergies safely consume this surimi product?

No; the formulation includes rehydrated egg white, which triggers egg allergy, and wheat starch that contains gluten, making it unsuitable for both egg‑allergic and gluten‑free consumers.
