Why is Medium Egg Noodles classified as a processed food (NOVA 3) and what additives does it contain?

The noodles are made from refined wheat flour and pasteurised egg, ingredients that undergo milling, mixing and drying, which places them in NOVA group 3. The only listed additive is potassium carbonate (E501i), used as an acidity regulator.

How does the salt content in Medium Egg Noodles affect a hypertensive diet?

With 0.26 g of salt per 100 g, the noodles contain less than one‑tenth of the average salt level for similar products, so they add a modest amount of sodium and can fit into a controlled‑salt diet when paired with low‑salt accompaniments.

Is Medium Egg Noodles suitable for a vegan, gluten‑free, or low‑carb (keto) diet?

The product contains egg and wheat flour, so it is neither vegan nor gluten‑free. Its carbohydrate content of about 28 g per 100 g also makes it unsuitable for strict low‑carb or keto plans.
