Why is Gyoza, chicken & vegetable classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product falls into NOVA group 4 because its formulation includes several industrially processed components such as soy sauce (which itself contains water, soybeans, wheat and salt), yeast extract, sesame oil, rapeseed oil, added sugar, black pepper and flavor enhancers; the use of processed chicken skin, broth and starches further contributes to its ultra‑processed status.

How does the sugar and salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 2.8 g of sugars and 1 g of salt per 100 g, the dumplings provide a modest amount of carbohydrates and a relatively low sodium level compared with many frozen meals, but diabetics should still count the sugars toward their daily carbohydrate allowance and people monitoring blood pressure should consume the product in moderation as part of an overall low‑salt diet.

Is the soy sauce used in this product a concern for individuals with soy allergies?

Yes. The soy sauce ingredient contains soybeans, and the product also includes textured soy protein, making it unsuitable for anyone with a soy allergy or sensitivity.
