Why is Petits pois carottes à l'étuvée extra-fins classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what additives does it contain?

The product is placed in NOVA group 4 because it undergoes industrial canning, which involves heat treatment, added salt, sugar and a natural flavoring to preserve taste and texture; the ingredient list does not show any listed additives, so the only processing aids are those inherent to the canning process.

How do the sugar and salt levels in this canned peas and carrots product affect people with diabetes or high blood pressure?

With 3.1 g of sugars and 0.6 g of salt per 100 g, the product provides modest amounts that are lower than many processed foods, but the sugar can still raise blood glucose and the salt contributes to sodium intake, so individuals with diabetes or hypertension should consume it in moderation and consider the total daily intake from all sources.

Is this product suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, keto or halal diets?

All ingredients are plant‑based, making the product vegan, and there are no gluten‑containing grains, so it is gluten‑free; however, with 8.5 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, it is not low‑carb enough for a strict keto diet, while the absence of animal-derived ingredients means it can be considered halal.
