Why is Smoked Almond-Sesame Tofu classified as a processed (NOVA 3) product and what additives does it contain?

The tofu is made by coagulating soy beans with magnesium chloride and calcium sulfate and by adding a soy sauce seasoning that contains wheat, water, salt and other ingredients; these processing steps and the use of the two mineral coagulants place the product in NOVA group 3, and the only additives are magnesium chloride (E511) and calcium sulfate (E516).

How does the salt content in this smoked tofu affect a hypertensive or low-sodium diet?

With 1.7 g of salt per 100 g, a typical 100 g serving provides about 28% of the World Health Organization's recommended maximum daily intake of 6 g, so it can contribute significantly to sodium load and should be limited in hypertensive or low-sodium diets.

Is the wheat-based soy sauce in this product a concern for people who need to avoid gluten?

Yes, the soy sauce ingredient contains wheat, which introduces gluten, so the tofu is not suitable for a strict gluten-free diet.
