Why is Sardines a l'huile d'olive Saint-Georges classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is actually a NOVA 3 food; its processing involves only canning and the ingredient list – sardines, extra-virgin olive oil and salt – contains no additives, so it does not meet the criteria for the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category.

How does the salt content in Sardines a l'huile d'olive Saint-Georges affect a hypertensive diet?

With 1 g of salt per 100 g, the product provides less sodium than many canned fish products and can fit into a moderate-salt diet, but individuals with hypertension should still monitor portion size to keep total daily sodium intake within recommended limits.

Is the fish ingredient in Sardines a l'huile d'olive Saint-Georges a concern for people with fish allergies?

Yes – fish is listed as an allergen, so anyone who is allergic to fish should avoid this product.
