Why is this ham classified as NOVA 3 and what nutrients cause its low Nutri‑Score?

NOVA 3 indicates a processed product made by adding salt and other ingredients to pork meat; the Nutri‑Score of E is driven mainly by the high salt (6 g) and saturated fat (6 g) content, which generate the maximum negative points, outweighing its protein and fiber benefits.

How does the high salt content affect people with hypertension?

With 6 g of salt per 100 g, this ham supplies roughly 100 % of the recommended daily sodium intake, which can raise blood pressure and increase cardiovascular risk, so it should be consumed only occasionally by individuals managing hypertension.

Are the trace amounts of nuts and milk in this ham a concern for allergic consumers?

The label indicates possible traces of nuts and milk, meaning cross‑contamination may occur during processing; allergic individuals should treat the product as unsafe and avoid it to prevent allergic reactions.
