Why is Brochettes poulet yakitori classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product undergoes multiple processing steps such as marinating, adding sugar, maltodextrin, soy sauce and stabilisers, and it includes additives E331 (sodium citrate), E415 (xanthane gum), and E500/E500ii (sodium bicarbonate), which place it in the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category.

How does the 8 g of sugar per 100 g in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The high sugar can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, complicating diabetes management, while the modest salt (1.4 g) is lower than average but still contributes to sodium intake that people with hypertension need to monitor.

Is this product suitable for strict diets such as vegan, keto, or gluten‑free?

No; it contains chicken meat, soy (soybeans) and wheat flour, making it unsuitable for vegan, gluten‑free and keto diets that restrict animal protein, gluten or high carbohydrate ingredients.
