Why is Galettes pois fromage épinards classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA 4 rating because it is formulated from several industrially processed ingredients, textured pea protein, dehydrated egg-white powder, refined wheat fiber, and melted Emmental cheese, so the product results from a multi-step manufacturing process, even though no separate food additives are listed.

Based on the ingredients, is this product suitable for strict diets like vegan, keto, halal, or gluten-free?

The patty is not vegan (it contains Emmental cheese and egg-white powder), is not gluten-free (it includes wheat fiber), its halal status cannot be confirmed because the cheese is not specified as halal-certified, and its carbohydrate level (~12–15 g/100 g) is higher than typical keto targets, so it is only marginally compatible with a strict keto plan.

Is the egg-white powder in this product a concern for egg allergies?

Yes, egg-white powder is a direct egg ingredient, so anyone with an egg allergy should avoid this product; the label also lists egg as an allergen.
