Why is CRISPY SKIN-ON FRIES classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what additives does it contain?

The fries are considered ultra‑processed because the potatoes are peeled, cut, pre‑cooked, coated with starches, flours and oil, then frozen; although the ingredient list shows no preservatives or colourants, the extensive processing and added dextrose and salt qualify it as NOVA 4.

How do the sugar and salt levels in CRISPY SKIN-ON FRIES affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

With 0.7 g of sugars and 0.39 g of salt per 100 g, the fries are low in sugar and contain moderate salt, so they won’t cause a rapid glucose spike but the salt amount is still notable for hypertension, making portion control advisable.

Can CRISPY SKIN-ON FRIES be included in vegan, gluten‑free or keto diets?

All listed ingredients are plant‑based, making the product vegan; however, the presence of rice flour, pea flour and other starches means it is not gluten‑free, and its high carbohydrate content (28 g per 100 g) makes it unsuitable for strict keto diets.
