Les Allumettes Fumées au bois de Hêtre

Les Allumettes Fumées au bois de Hêtre are thin, smoked pork sticks marketed in France as a processed meat snack. They belong to the processed‑meat category (PNNS group “Processed meat”), carry a Nutri‑Score of D and are classified in NOVA group 4, reflecting their ultra‑processed nature with added preservatives such as potassium lactate‑sodium nitrite, salt and dextrose. While the item provides a moderate protein level (17 g per 100 g) and is lower than average in total fat, saturated fat, sugar and salt, its high salt (2.1 g/100 g) and saturated‑fat content, together with the presence of synthetic additives, limit its nutritional quality.
