Why is Boeuf KYOTO & nouilles classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

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

With 5.8 g of sugar per 100 g, the dish can raise blood glucose levels and should be limited for people with diabetes, while its 1.3 g of salt per 100 g is lower than many ready‑meals but still contributes to daily sodium intake and may need monitoring for hypertension.
