Why is Fish Soup classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The soup is rated NOVA 4 because it includes multiple industrial ingredients, notably the thickeners carrageenan (E 407) derived from seaweed and guar gum (E 412) from legume seeds, in addition to added salt and processed tomato concentrate.

How does the salt content in Fish Soup affect a hypertensive diet?

With 0.9 g of salt per 100 g (about 360 mg sodium in a typical 250 g portion), the soup provides a moderate amount of sodium that can contribute to daily limits, so people with high blood pressure should consume it sparingly and balance it with low‑salt meals.

Is the fish in this soup a concern for people with seafood allergies, and are there any hidden gluten traces?

The product lists fish as a primary ingredient (35 %) and declares it as an allergen; it also notes possible traces of crustaceans, molluscs and gluten, making it unsuitable for individuals allergic to seafood or gluten.
