Why is Cabillaud Fish and Chips classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from breaded cod fillets that include processed flours, starches, raising agents and vegetable oils, which places it in the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category; the label lists three additives: sodium disodium phosphate (E339), sodium bicarbonate (E500ii) and a generic raising agent blend (E14xx).

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

The product contains 1.2 g of sugar per 100 g, a low level that has minimal impact on blood glucose, but the 0.98 g of salt (about 390 mg sodium) adds to daily sodium intake and should be counted toward the recommended limit for people with high blood pressure.

Is Cabillaud Fish and Chips suitable for vegan, gluten-free, or dairy-free diets?

No. The product contains real cod fish (non-vegan), wheat flour and gluten (not gluten-free), and skimmed milk powder (not dairy-free), making it unsuitable for those avoiding animal products, gluten, or dairy.
