Why is 12 mini nems aux crevettes classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It receives a NOVA‑4 label because the ingredients are heavily refined and include processed components such as dehydrated soy sauce, guar gum (E412) as a thickener, and added sugars, which are typical of ultra‑processed foods.

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

The product provides 3.1 g of sugars and 1.39 g of salt per 100 g, a moderate sugar level that can fit within a controlled diabetic plan but still contributes to daily carbohydrate intake, while the salt amount is moderate and may need to be limited for hypertension, especially when combined with other salty foods.

Is the shrimp in this product a concern for people with shellfish allergies, and are there any other common allergens present?

Yes, the shrimp and powdered northern prawn are crustacean allergens, and the product also contains wheat (gluten), soy protein, and fish, making it unsuitable for individuals allergic to any of these ingredients.
