Why is Galettes végétales soja, tomate, basilic classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The patties are made from multiple processed ingredients such as dehydrated soy protein, refined vegetable oils, tomato concentrates and a variety of additives. Their formulation includes methylcellulose (E461) as a thickener, buffered vinegar (E267) as a preservative, and an additional unspecified preservative, which together place the product in the NOVA 4 ultra‑processed category.

How does the sugar content of these soy, tomato and basil patties affect a diabetic diet?

At 4.9 g of sugar per 100 g, the patties contain slightly more sugar than the average plant‑based patty. For people managing diabetes, the sugar amount is modest but should be accounted for within the total daily carbohydrate budget, especially when combined with other carbohydrate‑rich foods.

Is the soy protein in this product a concern for people with soy allergy?

Yes. The primary protein source is dehydrated soy protein, which is listed as a soy allergen. Individuals with soy allergy should avoid these patties, as even small traces can trigger reactions.
