Why is Mini galettes de lentilles classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The snack receives a NOVA 4 rating because it includes refined ingredients such as lentil flour, potato starch, sunflower oil and a spice blend, and it contains the additive E322 (sunflower lecithin) used as an emulsifier, which places it in the ultra‑processed category.

How does the salt content of 1.7 g per 100 g impact a hypertensive or sodium‑restricted diet?

A salt level of 1.7 g per 100 g is moderate for a snack; for people on a low‑sodium regime it contributes a noticeable portion of the daily limit and should be consumed sparingly to avoid raising blood pressure.

Are these mini lentil crackers suitable for a vegan, gluten‑free diet despite the listed traces?

All listed ingredients are plant‑based, so the product is vegan, but the label reports possible traces of gluten, milk, celery, mustard and soy, meaning it may not be safe for strict gluten‑free or allergen‑restricted diets.
