Why is this salmon‑potato‑ricotta dish classified as processed (NOVA 3) and which ingredients drive that classification?

NOVA 3 indicates a product that has been formulated with multiple added ingredients and culinary preparation; the presence of added salt, butter, oils, starches, dairy (crème fraîche, ricotta, skimmed‑milk powder) and seasonings means it is more than a simple combination of whole foods, leading to its processed status.

How does the salt content of this product affect people with hypertension?

The dish provides 0.72 g of salt per 100 g, which is moderate and lower than the average for prepared meals, but regular consumption could still contribute to daily sodium intake and should be limited by those managing high blood pressure.

Is the salmon in this product a concern for people with fish allergies?

Yes; the product contains 22 % Norwegian salmon and is clearly labeled with a fish allergen, so anyone allergic to fish should avoid it.
