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

The chips are made from refined corn flour, sunflower oil, added salt and cheese powder, and they also include added sugars, maltodextrin, flavorings that contain milk, citric acid (E330) and other spice extracts. These processed ingredients and the presence of an additive (citric acid) place the product in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category.

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

With only 1.5 g of sugar per 100 g, the chips have a low impact on blood glucose and are acceptable for diabetic individuals in moderation. However, the 1.6 g of salt per 100 g contributes significantly to daily sodium limits and may exacerbate hypertension, so it should be limited for people on low‑salt diets.

Is the cheese powder in this product a concern for people with a milk allergy?

Yes. The ingredient list includes cheese powder and the flavoring is labeled as containing milk, so the product is not safe for anyone with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance.
