Why is Organic Smoked tofu classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

Because the tofu is smoked and includes added firming agents, it is considered ultra-processed; the product contains calcium chloride (E509) and magnesium chloride (E511) as texture enhancers, plus a small amount of permitted non-organic ingredients used for processing.

How does the sodium (salt) level in Organic Smoked tofu impact a hypertension-friendly diet?

Each 100 g serving provides 0.79 g of salt (approximately 310 mg of sodium), which is far lower than the 2.32 g average for similar products, so it can fit into a reduced-sodium diet, although total daily salt intake should still be monitored.

Is the soy protein in Organic Smoked tofu safe for individuals with soy allergy?

No; soybeans are the main ingredient and are listed as a known allergen, so anyone with a soy allergy should avoid this product.

Product Insights

Organic Smoked tofu is a plant-based protein made from soybeans, placing it in the Legumes food group and carrying vegan and organic certifications. It receives a Nutri-Score of A but is classified as NOVA 4, reflecting its ultra-processed nature due to smoking and the inclusion of firming agents such as calcium chloride (E509) and magnesium chloride (E511). Nutritionally it offers high protein (16.1 g per 100 g) and very low sugar, while its salt and saturated fat are below average, but its fiber is modest and the soy content makes it unsuitable for those with soy allergies.
