Why is Pommes Croustine classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is labelled NOVA 4 because the product combines refined potato flakes, potato starch and a stabiliser, methylcellulose, along with a natural onion flavouring; these processed ingredients and additives place it in the ultra‑processed category.

How does the salt content in this product affect a hypertensive diet?

With 0.5 g of salt per 100 g, the product provides a moderate sodium amount, lower than the average rosti but still contributing to daily intake, so people with hypertension should consume it in limited portions.

Does Pommes Croustine contain gluten, and is it safe for people with celiac disease?

Although the ingredient list does not include wheat or other gluten grains, the product is flagged for possible gluten traces, so it cannot be considered gluten‑free and is not recommended for individuals with celiac disease.
