Why is Rostbräterle Sojawürstchen classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is made from tofu, rice, oil and a vegetable broth that undergoes coagulation with magnesium chloride and calcium sulfate, which are considered processing steps; the only listed additives are these natural coagulants and yeast extract in the broth, with no artificial preservatives or flavors.

How does the salt and fat content in this product affect a hypertensive or cardiovascular‑risk diet?

At 1.5 g of salt per 100 g, the sausage contributes a moderate amount of sodium that can raise blood pressure if consumed in large portions, while its 14 g of fat (1.9 g saturated) adds to daily calorie intake and may affect cholesterol levels, so it should be eaten in moderation within a balanced diet.

Is the soy protein in this product a concern for people with soy allergies or for sustainable sourcing?

Soybeans make up about 55 % of the tofu core, so the product is unsuitable for anyone allergic to soy, but the soy is sourced from certified organic European farms, which generally offers a more sustainable and lower‑impact cultivation compared with conventional soy.
