Why is Delikatess Geflügel-Wiener classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The sausage is labeled NOVA 4 because it includes several industrial additives common in ultra‑processed foods: sodium nitrite (E250) as a preservative, ascorbic acid (E300) and sodium ascorbate (E301) as antioxidants, sodium citrate (E331) and diphosphate (E450) as stabilisers, plus smoked flavor, added sugar, salt, spices and other flavour extracts.

How does the salt content in this product affect a hypertensive diet?

With 2 g of salt per 100 g, the sausage supplies about one‑third of the WHO's recommended maximum daily intake of 6 g, which can elevate blood pressure and should be limited by people managing hypertension.

Are the trace allergens celery, milk, and mustard in this sausage a risk for people with those allergies?

Yes, the product lists possible traces of celery, milk and mustard, so individuals sensitive to any of these allergens could experience a reaction and should avoid consuming it.
