Why is Bouillon cube Boeuf classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product mixes multiple refined ingredients, sea salt, beef powder, shea butter, cane sugar, corn starch, grilled onions, yeast extract, caramelised sugar, celery flavor, beef fat, natural aroma and other flavor enhancers, which together meet the criteria for ultra‑processed foods despite the absence of artificial flavors.

How does the salt content in this bouillon cube affect a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

At 4.6 g of salt per 100 g, a single cube provides roughly 20 % of the recommended daily sodium intake; regular use can quickly exceed limits for people with hypertension, so the product should be used sparingly and balanced with low‑salt ingredients.

Is Bouillon cube Boeuf suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or other special diets?

No; the cube contains beef powder, shea butter, milk traces, gluten and mustard, so it is not vegan, not gluten‑free and is unsuitable for anyone avoiding these allergens.

Product Insights

Bouillon cube Boeuf is an 80‑gram organic beef broth cube intended for rehydration into a savory stock. It belongs to the meat‑based product family, carries a Nutri‑Score of E, and is classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) due to its mixture of salt, beef powder, shea butter, sugar and flavorings. While it provides modest protein and low sugars, it is very high in salt (4.6 g per 100 g) and contains allergens such as celery, gluten, milk and mustard, making it unsuitable for low‑sodium or allergen‑free diets.
