Why is Chips au sel de Guérande classified as a processed product (NOVA 3) and does it contain any food additives?

The snack is made by slicing, frying and seasoning potatoes, which places it in the NOVA 3 category for processed foods. Its ingredient list shows only potatoes, high‑oleic sunflower oil and Guérande salt, and the product reports zero additives.

How does the 0.6 g of salt per 100 g in these chips affect a diet for people with hypertension?

0.6 g of salt equals about 240 mg of sodium, contributing roughly 10 % of the WHO’s recommended maximum daily sodium intake. While lower than many snack foods, it still adds to total daily salt consumption and should be limited in hypertensive diets.

Are these chips suitable for vegan, keto or gluten‑free diets?

The product contains only plant‑derived ingredients and no gluten‑containing grains, making it both vegan and gluten‑free. However, with 61 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, it is not compatible with a strict keto diet.
