Why is Fine liver sausage with chives classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and which additives does it contain?

The product undergoes extensive processing, including the addition of preservatives, emulsifiers and flavor enhancers, which places it in NOVA 4. It contains the nitrite preservative E250, the antioxidant ascorbic acid (E300), and mono‑ and diglycerides of fatty acids (E471) as an emulsifier.

How does the high saturated‑fat and salt content affect people with hypertension or heart disease?

The 14 g of saturated fat per 100 g can raise LDL cholesterol, while 2 g of salt contributes to higher blood pressure; together they may increase cardiovascular risk for people managing hypertension or heart disease, so moderation or avoidance is advisable.

Is the cream (milk) in this liverwurst a concern for individuals with dairy allergies?

Yes, the spread includes cream, which contains milk proteins and is listed as an allergen; anyone with a dairy allergy should avoid this product.
